Prediction of the Speed and Wind Direction Using Machine Learning

The wind is a free energy source; however, its high unpredictability is a significant integration problem of large wind power plant into an energy system. In a wind conversion system, the wind speeds are a vital power-generated tracking, regulation, schedules and dispatch and satisfy consumer requirements. This paper proposes using the machine learning (ML) based ant colony optimization (ACO) method for the wind speed prediction. A correlation among predicted and real data from climate models showed strong consensus. The significance of the current research depends on its ability to forecast wind speeds, a crucial precursor to performing successful incorporation of wind power. (paper)
