Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The exploitation of the UK's large onshore and offshore wind energy resource has been identified as an important part of the Government's Renewable Energy Policy. As wind energy is highly variable, accurate wind forecasting on the timescale of a few hours is required for wind energy to compete effectively under the likely form of the New Energy Trading Arrangements (NETA). The project therefore aims to develop new methods for the improved prediction of wind power production in the UK. The development will concentrate on improving short-term predictive methods based on statistical analysis of wind speed and power time series data relevant to onshore sites to address the current needs of the wind energy industry. These techniques will be extended to prediction of wind power at offshore sites. The value of longer-range wind power forecasting based on the latest numerical weather prediction models in facilitating future large-scale integration of wind energy in the UK national grid will also be assessed. An economic evaluation of the methods for short-range onshore power prediction using a simple price forecasting model will be made. Finally a Windows-based software package to aid UK wind energy suppliers in formulating their trading strategies, will be written.EngProg\
