Abstract
With the increase of wind power installed capacities, the cost of integration is large due to the intermittent nature of wind energy. To accommodate wind farm power fluctuations, additional control measures are required. Accurate characterization of the fluctuations paves the way for optimal control design. In identifying localized characteristics of the signal, wavelet transform provides a suitable tool. Data gathered at a wind farm of New Mexico are studied with its daily output variations characterized using wavelet transform.
