Wind Speed Forecasting in China: A Review

Abstract

China's wind power has developed rapidly in the past few years, the large-scale penetration of which will bring big influence on power systems. The wind speed forecasting research is quite important because it can alleviate the negative impacts. This paper reviews the current wind speed forecasting techniques in China. The literature (written in Chinese) sources and classification were firstly analyzed, and then the wind speed forecasting techniques in China were detailed reviewed from four aspects, which are statistical method, soft computing method, hybrid forecasting method and other forecasting methods. This paper can rich the current research in the field of wind speed forecasting.
