Abstract
The reasons such as; development on the technology, continuing increase in population etc. has caused continues increase on the demand of energy. Nevertheless, depleted fossil fuels have forced the
production of energy from different sources as well as the generation of energy from sustainable sources. Wind energy generation systems are both sustainable and environmentally friendly and are an
important source of production. The energy to be generated from a wind turbine is directly related to the wind speed in that region. In this study, it is aimed to model the average wind speed data collected
in ten minutes period from a meteorological station at the campus area of Afyon Kocatepe University of Turkey, successfully by designing linear prediction filters. Both two-dimensional and multidimensional linear prediction filters are used in the study. In this study, for the aim of prediction of short term wind speed data measured; wind speed, wind speed-temperature and wind speedtemperature-pressure data are employed and different filter templates have been built. Considering the results obtained from the filters, both the success of linear prediction filters on short-term wind speed modeling has been investigated and the successes of two-dimensional and multidimensional linear prediction filters have been compared. The results indicated that both the two-dimensional and the multi-dimensional linear prediction filters have been successful in modeling short-term wind speeds.
