Abstract (EN):
The increased integration of wind power into the electric grid, as nowadays occurs in Portugal, poses new challenges because of its intermittency and volatility. Hence, good forecasting tools play a key role in tackling these challenges. In this study, a hybrid intelligent approach is proposed for short-term wind power forecasting in Portugal. The proposed approach is based on the wavelet transform and a hybrid of neural networks and fuzzy logic. Results from a real-world case study are presented. A thorough comparison is carried out, taking into account the results obtained with other approaches. Conclusions are duly drawn.
