Abstract

Many published studies in wind power forecasting based on Neural Networks have provided performance factors based on error criteria. Based on the standard protocol for forecasting, the published results must provide improvement criteria over the persistence or references models of its same place. Persistence forecasting is the easier way of prediction in time series, but first order Wiener predictive filter is an enhancement of pure persistence model that have been adopted as the reference model for wind power forecasting. Pure enhanced persistence is simple but hard to beat in short-term prediction. This paper shows some experiments that have been performed by applying the standard protocols with Feed Forward and Recurrent Neural Networks architectures in the background of the requirements for Open Electricity Markets.
