Short term wind power forecasting using k-nearest neighbour (KNN)

Abstract

This project focuses on prediction of energy power based on data of previous 2 years using various machine learning algorithms. The data is analysed on yearly basis. The wind power analysed is of four different locations. After the selection of location their given data was tested with various machine learning algorithms and were applied to the dataset and different wind power generation value was predicted depending on location, geographical, demographic and wind speed and weather conditions.

On working with different regression techniques, we found out that KNN Algorithm was found to be most effective for the prediction of wind power. Hence, various machine learning and deep learning techniques were applied to get an accurate idea regarding the establishment of wind power plants in particular location analogous to the places selected in the dataset.
