Abstract

Alternative sources of energy like solar and wind have become relevant and important in today’s
world. Even though wind energy is sustainable it cannot be considered as a constant energy source. The
unstable and irregular character of wind makes the accurate prediction of wind energy a daunting task. For
efficient trading & planning of energy meticulous forecasting of wind energy is pivotal, as it will help to
reduce the risk of unreliability in electrical power supply. So accurate forecasting is important in this field.
A review of important forecasting techniques used in wind energy prediction is carried out in the paper. The
fundamental objective is to highlight various prediction methods depending on physical, statistical and
hybrid approaches and motivate the researchers to develop efficient and accurate methods for wind power
and wind speed forecasting
