Hybrid intelligent approach for short-term wind power forecasting in Portugal

The increased integration of wind power into the electric grid, as nowadays occurs in Portugal, poses new challenges because of its intermittency and volatility. Hence, good forecasting tools play a key role in tackling these challenges. In this study, a hybrid intelligent approach is proposed for short-term wind power forecasting in Portugal. The proposed approach is based on the wavelet transform and a hybrid of neural networks and fuzzy logic. Results from a real-world case study are presented. A thorough comparison is carried out, taking into account the results obtained with other approaches. Conclusions are duly drawn.
