Review of Evaluation Criteria and Main Methods of Wind Power Forecasting

Wind power has characteristics of randomness and uncontrollability. China needs to learn from the successful experience of wind power prediction in European. Wind power forecasting (WPF) will be an important part of the power system construction in the future. Firstly, the classification of WPF is discussed according to the different classified methods. Secondly, the evaluation criteria about the uncertainty of WPF are summarized. Thirdly, we give a survey on the main methods of WPF. Finally, the development direction of WPF is proposed.
