description Wind turbines’ economic and secure operation can be optimized through accurate ultra-short-term wind power and speed forecasts. Turbulence, considered as a local short-term physical wind phenomenon, affects wind power generation. This paper investigates the use of turbulence intensity for ultra-short-term predictions of wind power and speed with a wind farm in the Arctic, including and excluding wind turbulence, within three hours by employing several different machine learning algorithms. A rigorous and detailed statistical comparison of the predictions is conducted. The results show that the algorithms achieve reasonably accurate predictions, but turbulence intensity does not statistically contribute to wind power or speed forecasts. This observation illustrates the uncertainty of turbulence in wind power generation.
