Wind power forecasting

Wind power forecasting is a way to try to predict how much energy will be made from wind energy in the future. It means looking at the wind speed and direction, and using math and computer models to estimate how much power can be produced from the wind in the coming days and weeks. By predicting how much energy will be generated from the wind, power companies and energy planners can plan ahead to make sure enough energy is available for people to use when they need it!
