Abstract

To obtain green energy, it is important to know, in advance, an estimation of the weather conditions. In case of wind energy, another important factor is to determine the right moment to stop the turbine in case of strong winds to avoid its damage. This research introduces a tool, not only to increase green energy generation from wind, reducing CO₂ emissions, but also to prevent failures in turbines that is especially interesting for manufacturers. Using Artificial Neural Networks and data from meteorological stations located in Gran Canaria airport and Tenerife Sur airport (both in Canary Islands, Spain), a robust prediction system able to determine wind speed with a mean absolute error of 0.29 m per second is presented.
