An All-Elements Short-Term Forecasting of Offshore Wind Energy Resource

The short-term wind power forecasting is closely linked to the collection and transformation of resources and their applications such as unit scheduling and power trading. Previous researchers have done tremendous work on the short-term forecasting of offshore wind power across the globe. However, there are no such studies specifically targeting the countries and regions along the Maritime Silk Road. Besides, current forecasting products mainly focuses on parameters such as wind speed and density while key indicators like usability, ELO, and storage amount have not been covered. In this chapter, an all-element short-term forecasting system of offshore wind energy resource was designed, comprehensively including the wind field, wind power density, energy availability, energy level occurrences, energy storage, etc., as well as the forecasting of wind energy of key nodes (hourly wind power density and wind direction, wind energy rose, etc.), to provide reference for the daily operation of wind power generation and so on.
