| Summary |
This report describes the status of central wind power forecasting in North America, both planned and operating. This report does not discuss the types of wind power forecasting in any depth, as this has been covered elsewhere (Monterio et al., 2009; Zavadil et al., 2009; Grant et al., 2009; Ernst et al., 2007). The report begins with a summary of wind forecasting companies active in currently-operating central wind forecasting systems. The report reviews the individual central wind power forecasting systems in North America, both planned and operating, in more detail. The report then discusses some common characteristics of operating central wind power forecasting systems, reviews some preliminary wind power forecasting performance data, and closes with a summary. |
