A review on proliferation of artificial intelligence in wind energy forecasting and instrumentation management

Energy is the source of economic growth, and energy consumption indicates the country’s state of development. Energy engineering is a relatively new technical discipline. It is increasingly considered as a significant step in meeting carbon reduction targets, which can produce a variety of appealing outcomes that are useful to humanity’s evolution. Many countries have adopted national policies to decrease pollution by reducing fossil fuel use and increasing renewable energy usage by alleviating climate change (wind and solar, etc.). The ever-growing need for renewable sources has led to economic and technological problems, such as wind energy, essential for effective grid control, and the design of a wind project. Precise estimates offer network operators and power system designers vital information for the generation of an appropriate wind turbine and controlling demand and supply power. This work provides an in-depth study of the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the prediction of wind energy generation. The devices employed to calculate wind speed are examined and discussed, with a focus on studies recently published. This review’s findings show that AI is being employed in power wind energy measurement and forecasts. When compared to individual systems, the hybrid AI system gives more accurate findings. The discussion also found that correct handling and calibration of the anemometer can increase predicting accuracy. This conclusion suggests that increasing the accuracy of wind forecasting can be accomplished by lowering equipment errors that measure the meteorological parameter and mitigate carbon emission.
