Wind Power Forecast Simulator
Interactive wind farm forecasting simulator: a stochastic wind field drives turbine power output through a real cubic power curve, while a persistence-based forecast model tries to predict it ahead of time. Watch forecast error grow with horizon and turbulence.
A 3D wind farm of nine turbines sits inside a stochastically evolving wind field, driven by an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck mean-reverting process that mimics real gust behaviour. Each turbine converts the instantaneous wind speed into electrical power through the standard cubic power curve used in real turbine datasheets, spinning its blades and tilting its nacelle to face the wind. Alongside the physical farm, a persistence-decay forecast model predicts power output a chosen number of hours ahead, and a live strip chart tracks actual versus forecast power along with a running Mean Absolute Error — the exact metric grid operators use to grade renewable-generation forecasts feeding into network balancing.
A 3D wind farm driven by a stochastic gust model shows how actual turbine power output diverges from a persistence-decay forecast, with a live chart tracking forecast error as horizon and turbulence change.
