- (a)
- The wind farms located on the northern slope of a mountain, with another mountain tens of kilometers to its northwest (Areas 1 and 3);
- (b)
- The wind farms located on valley passes or leeward slopes of mountains. (Areas 2, 4, and 5);
- (c)
- The wind farms located over relatively low terrain (Area 6);
- (d)
- The wind farms located over flat terrain away from significant mountains (Area 7).
3.6. Growth of Forecast Errors with Lead Time
4. Summary and Conclusions
- (1)
- Among the ensemble groups driven by the GFS, GEOS, and GEM global weather model forecasts, the GFS group significantly outperformed the other two groups with respect to the CC and MAE of the wind forecasts, with 59–64% of the turbines performing best. The GEM group was poorer overall, with only 2% of turbines achieving the best prediction. The wind forecast MAE of the GEOS group was similar to that of the GFS group, but the GEOS group tended to perform better in terms of BIAS. In the GEOS group, there were some larger positive and negative biases that offset one another, resulting in a smaller overall bias;
- (2)
- All three ensemble groups overestimated the low wind speed (0–3 m/s) and underestimated the high wind speed. All three groups had better forecasts for the wind speeds ranging from 3 to 12 m/s, and the errors of the GFS and GEOS groups were similar. For wind speeds greater than 12 m/s, the GFS group outperformed the GEOS group, and the GEM group had the largest error. The average deviation of the wind forecasts from the observations increased approximately linearly with the magnitude of wind speeds, reaching more than −4 m/s for the cases of strong winds over 15 m/s;
- (3)
- The wind speed forecasts of all three ensemble groups exhibited similar diurnal variation in each of the seven subregions. The wind forecast bias was generally small during daytime but overestimated by 1–1.5 m/s at night. The GFS group had the best performance, the GEOS group was slightly worse, and the GEM group significantly underestimated the wind speed during daytime. The GEOS group had more accurate wind speed forecasts than the GFS group in nighttime in several complex terrain areas;
- (4)
- The errors of the wind forecasts of the three ensemble groups increased with forecast lead time, with a growth rate of ~0.3 m/s for the 3-day forecast period. The nighttime MAE was 0.6–0.5 m/s higher than that in the daytime. The MAEs of wind forecasts of the GFS and GEOS groups were relatively close to one another, and the GFS group had a slight advantage. The wind speed forecast errors of the GEM group grew much faster at night, and its biases were ~0.4–0.6 m/s larger than those of the other two groups. The large MAE of the GEM group wind forecast during nighttime was mainly due to the systematic overestimation of wind speed at night;
- (5)
- Based on the results of this study, the ensemble outputs should first be processed to remove the bias of the three subgroups separately before they are combined for deriving probabilistic wind power forecast products. The model post-processing should be done for each region, as best as possible, for each wind turbine site independently, in order to deal with the unique forecast error properties of the ensembles in different regions. Model developers should devote their attention to mitigating the trend of the wind forecast bias growth with wind speeds.
