Forecast of hourly average wind speed with ARMA models in Navarre (Spain)
TL;DR: It has been proven that the transformation and standardization of the original series allow the use of ARMA models and these behave significantly better in the forecast than the persistence model, especially in the longer-term forecasts.

Wind speed and wind energy forecast through Kalman filtering of Numerical Weather Prediction model output
TL;DR: In this paper, the Kalman filter is analyzed in order to find the best configuration for wind speed and wind power forecast, in a hindcast mode, with 2-year-long data sets of wind speed provided by a Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model and two anemometric stations located in the eastern Liguria (Italy).
