Wind power forecasting and integration to power grids

This is a summary of the presentation in the special session: “Digital Signal Processing for Green Power Systems and Delivery”. In recent years, wind power penetration level in power systems has increased significantly. Grid integration has become one of the major issues for wind power growth due to the intermittent characteristics of wind power. The uncertainty of power generation from wind farms may result in power system stability and security problems. Accurate wind power forecasting could reduce the uncertainty to generation scheduling to certain extent, hence increase the wind power penetration level in the system.
