Abstract

Efficient integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity grid has become one of the challenging problems in recent years. This issue is more critical especially for unstable energy sources such as wind. The focus of this work is the performance analysis of several alternative wind forecast combination models in comparison to the current forecast combination module of the wind power monitoring and forecast system of Turkey, developed within the course of the RITM project. These accuracy improvement studies are within the scope of data mining approaches, Association Rule Mining (ARM), Distance-based approach, Decision Trees and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) classification algorithms and comparative results of the algorithms are presented.
