Innovation for wind power: Adding smart processors between prediction systems and dispatch systems

The implementation of wind power forecast technology considerably accelerates the development of wind energy utilization. However, wind power is difficult to be accurately forecasted due to its intermittency and randomness. Meanwhile, a classic prediction system usually could not provide the uncertainty of the predicted wind power so that the suspicious predicted value challenges the dispatch scheduling. Under this circumstance, this paper presents an effective solution of adding a smart processor between the prediction system and dispatch system. This smart processor can generate the uncertainty of the predicted wind power and quite help in the dispatch managing process. The model and key technologies of the smart processor are also described from a conceptual level in this study. The proposed idea may make a big improvement for practical wind energy use in future.
