Abstract

The increased integration of wind power into the electric grid, as nowadays occurs in Portugal, poses new challenges due to its intermittency and volatility. Hence, good forecasting tools play a key role in tackling these challenges. In this paper, a neuro-fuzzy approach is proposed for short-term wind power forecasting in Portugal. 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.
