Accuracy of wind speed predictability with heights using Recurrent Neural networks

Accurate prediction of wind speed in future time domain is critical for wind power integration into the grid. Wind speed is usually measured at lower heights while the hub heights of modern wind turbines are much higher in the range of 80-120m. This study attempts to better understand the predictabi...
