Abstract

As fluctuating wind power is incorporated into the energy mix, grid operators encounter dire challenges. Managing grid operations requires accurate knowledge of available wind power and its variation with time. Wind power can be estimated by providing reliable and fast wind speed prediction at different hub heights. Hence, this study proposes a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) model for wind speed prediction at different heights and aboveground levels (AGL). The results of the proposed model are compared with three deep learning models to validate its repeatability. The results show a competitive performance between the proposed model and the gated recurrent unit (GRU) network. Furthermore, the study indicates that capturing wind speed at 18m height for training is sufficient for predicting wind speed at higher elevations. Further research could focus on adding exogenous variables to assess their impact on predicting wind speed at different AGL heights.
