Forecasting wind speed is essential for improving wind energy systems and attaining renewable energy sustainability. As global energy transitions accelerate, precise forecasting methodologies are essential for maintaining the efficiency and dependability of wind energy plants. This research examines the methodology, difficulties, and opportunities associated with wind speed forecasting, specifically in Kerala, India. Kerala's distinctive geographic and meteorological diversity makes it an intriguing subject for analysing the regional complexities of wind energy development. The state exhibits considerable wind variability due to monsoon patterns, coastal geography, and hilly terrains, necessitating specialized and sophisticated forecasting methods. This study examines diverse statistical, machine learning, and hybrid forecasting models and their relevance in the context of Kerala, tackling issues related to data scarcity, seasonal variability, and grid integration. It emphasizes the significance of predicting in enhancing wind farm operations during peak monsoon seasons and strategizing for low-output intervals. Moreover, Kerala's dependence on renewable energy sources, including hydro and solar, highlights the necessity for wind energy diversification to improve energy security and resilience.
The document underscores the significance of legislative frameworks and community involvement in promoting the adoption of wind energy solutions. This research integrates worldwide achievements with Kerala-specific insights to identify strategies for addressing regional difficulties and harnessing the state's latent wind energy potential. Stakeholders, including legislators, energy planners, and researchers, are offered practical advice to utilize wind speed forecasting as a mechanism for sustainable energy transitions. The study connects local renewable energy ambitions with global environmental objectives, establishing Kerala as a paradigm for creative wind energy approaches in analogous places globally.
