Wind Power Forecasting with Deep Learning Networks: Time-Series Forecasting

Studies have demonstrated that changes in the climate affect wind power forecasting under different weather conditions. Theoretically, accurate prediction of both wind power output and weather changes using statistics-based prediction models is difficult. In practice, traditional machine learning mo...

Theoretically, accurate prediction of both wind power output and weather changes using statistics-based prediction models is difficult.
