SUMMARY
Itochu Techno‐Solutions Corporation (CTC) and Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. have developed a system which predicts the wind power output in the control area of an electric power system in order to contribute to demand and supply control of the power system. Official operation of the system has been started after experimental operation during 3 years. Currently, the forecast information is used as reference information for electric power system operation in Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. In this paper, we describe the outline, operational status, and forecast accuracy of the system. We verified stable operation of the system and forecast accuracy of about 8% (intraday forecast) and 10% (day‐ahead forecast) by RMSE during experimental and official operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
