Using Quantile Regression to Extend an Existing Wind Power Forecasting System with Probabilistic Forecasts
For operational planning it is important to provide information about the situation-dependent uncertainty of a wind power forecast. Factors which influence the uncertainty of a wind power forecast include the predictability of the actual meteorological situation, the level of the predicted wind speed (due to the non-linearity of the power curve) and the forecast horizon.
With respect to the predictability of the actual meteorological situation a number of explanatory variables are considered, some inspired by the literature. The article contains an overview of related work within the field. An existing wind power forecasting system (Zephyr/WPPT) is considered and it is shown how analysis of the forecast error can be used to build a model of the quantiles of the forecast error.
Only explanatory variables or indices which are predictable are considered, whereby the model obtained can be used for providing situation-dependent information regarding the uncertainty. Finally, the article contains directions enabling the reader to replicate the methods and thereby extend other forecast systems with situation-dependent information on uncertainty.
