Abstract: | The increased integration of wind power into the electric grid, as nowadays occurs in Portugal, poses new challenges due to its intermittency and volatility. Hence, good forecasting tools play a key role in tackling these challenges. In this paper, an adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference approach is proposed for short‐term wind power forecasting. Results from a real‐world case study are presented. A thorough comparison is carried out, taking into account the results obtained with other approaches. Numerical results are presented and conclusions are duly drawn. © 2011 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
