This study proposes a hybrid forecasting approach that consists of the EWT (Empirical Wavelet Transform), CSA (Coupled Simulated Annealing) and LSSVM (Least Square Support Vector Machine) for enhancing the accuracy of short-term wind speed forecasting. The EWT is employed to extract true...

Wind energy has been well recognized as a renewable resource in electricity generation, which is environmentally friendly, socially beneficial and economically competitive. For proper and efficient evaluation of wind energy, a hybrid Seasonal Auto-Regression Integrated Moving Average and Least...

An accurate quantification and characterization of the available wind resources is necessary to optimally design a wind farm. To effectively evaluate the wind energy, studying the wind's statistical characteristics is required. The probability distribution of wind speed is a very important piece...
