Abstract

Wind speed prediction in short term is required to asses the effect of wind on different objects in action in free space, like rockets, navigating ships and planes, guided missiles satellites in launch etc. Forecasting also helps in usage of wind energy as an alternative source of energy in Electrical power generation plants. The wind speed depends on the values of other atmospheric variables, such as pressure, moisture content, humidity, rainfall etc. This paper reports a Support Vector Machine model for short term wind speed prediction. The model uses the values of these parameters, obtained from a nearest weather station, as input data. The trained model is validated using a part of data. The model is then used to predict the wind speed, using the same meteorological information.
