From Planning to Operation: Wind Power Forecasting Model for New Offshore Wind Farms

Compared to the onshore, the offshore wind farms have higher capacity factors. These high-capacity factors of the offshore wind farms and different wind conditions on the sea require new innovations to ensure a secure electricity grid. Wind power forecasting is indispensable to improve both the penetration of the wind energy in the energy mix and the economical and technical integration of a large share of the wind energy.
