Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this research article is to analyze the short-term wind speed and develop a framework model to overcome the challenges in the wind power industry.
Design/Methodology/Approach
Real data with a case study of wind speed is presented to illustrate the advantages of this new wind speed analytical framework. Hourly measurements of wind speed are observed, and the experiments are conducted using tools such as ANOVA, control charts, trend analysis, and predictive models. The August month data for over 13 years from modern era retrospective-analysis for research and applications (MERRA) National aeronautics and space administration (NASA) for Coimbatore and Erode locations in Tamil Nadu, India, have been used. The results were considered for the study to understand the wind speed data and the implementation of new wind power projects in India.
Findings
The essence of the proposed wind speed analytical framework is its flexible approach, which enables the effective integration of wind firms’ individual requirements by developing tailor-made analytical evaluations.
Originality/Value
This article derives the wind speed analytical framework with the application of statistical tools and machine learning algorithms.
