Abstract: Accurate short-term wind speed forecasting is important for the planning of a renewable energy power generation and utilization, especially in grid systems. In meteorology it is usual to improve the forecasts by means of some post-processing methods using local measurements and weather prediction model outputs. Neural networks, trained with local real data observations can improve short-term wind speed forecasts with respect to meso-scale numerical meteorological model outcomes of the same data types in the majority of cases. Large-scale forecast models are based on the numerical integration of differential equation systems, which can describe atmospheric circulation processes on account of global meteorological observations. Several layer 3D complex models, which involve a large number of matrix variables, cannot exactly describe conditions near the ground, highly influenced by a landscape relief, coast, structure and other factors. Polynomial neural networks can form and solve general differential equations, which allow to model real complex systems by means of substitution derivative term sum series. The proposed adaptive method forms a correction function according to real observations and consequently applies forecasts to revise a desired prognosis in a selected locality.
