We present a new method of reducing the error in predicted wind speed, thus enabling better management of wind energyfacilities. A numerical weather prediction model, COSMO, was used to produce 48 h forecast data every day in 2008 athorizontal resolutions of 10 and 3 km. A new adaptive...

As wind power penetration grows, the amount of reserve needed on the system also grows, due to the increases in the uncertainty of wind power, which grows larger as forecast horizon increases. By scheduling the system more often the amount of extra reserve to be carried to cater for wind...
