a b s t r a c tA Wind power forecasting method based on the use of discrete time Markov chain models is developed starting from real wind power time series data. It allows to directly obtain in an easy way an estimate of the wind power distributions on a very short-term horizon, without requiring restrictive assumptions on wind power probability distribution. First and Second Order Markov Chain Model are analytically described. Finally, the application of the proposed method is illustrated with reference to a set of real data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
