  • Is the monthly wind power generation consistent

    Is the monthly wind power generation consistent

    Since wind speeds vary from month to month and second to second, the amount of electricity wind can make varies constantly. Sometimes a wind turbine will make no power at all. This variability does affect the value of the wind power, but not in the way many people expect. Wind power generation fluctuates because of continually changing wind speeds. Accurate forecasting models are required for successfully integrating such fluctuating generation into the grid and market. Aggregating many wind power plants will smooth variability to a certain extent, which will also. Because wind resources vary from year to year, the intermonthly and interannual variability (IAV) of wind speed is a key component of the overall uncertainty in the wind resource assessment process, thereby creating challenges for wind farm operators and owners.
