Wind Speed Forecasting: A Review

Abstract

Climate change causes serious impacts on the atmospheric such as violent storms, floods, fires, cyclones, acid rain and prolonged droughts. Nations of the whole world have been striving to achieve a sustainable development through the power generation from renewable resources: sun, wind, water, and biomass. Wind power grew sharply due to its advantages for power generation in large scale. Consistent wind speed forecasts are relevant and must be prepared to avoid economic losses, facilitate regulation of wind systems, and increase the operational efficiency of industries through a more reliable decision making. Many factors are able to influence the winds. For this reason, wind speed forecasting is one of the most relevant and challenging world research problems nowadays. In literature, many approaches have been proposed. This paper provides an overview of wind speed prediction and introduces strengths and weaknesses of each approach and method, as well as aimed at further direction for additional research,
