Modeling the Wind Turbine Power Curve: A Comparison of Neural Networks and Classical Regression

Öz

Accurate modeling of a wind turbine’s power curve – the relationship between wind speed and electrical power output – is crucial for wind energy forecasting and intelligent turbine control. This paper investigates data-driven approaches for power curve modeling using a real turbine dataset (48,000 observations of 10-minute average wind speed and power). We compare classical regression models (linear and polynomial fits) against an artificial neural network (ANN) model. Results show that the ANN can learn the non-linear S-shaped power curve more accurately (achieving higher R^2 and lower error) than linear or polynomial regression. The linear model struggles with the curve’s strong non-linearity, while a fourth-order polynomial fit achieves better accuracy but tends to deviate outside the training range. The ANN model captures turbine behavior across all wind speed regimes, including the low-power region at cut-in and the saturated region at rated power. Data-driven ANN modeling reduced root-mean-square error by about 70% compared to a simple linear fit. These results highlight the practical advantages of machine learning models over theoretical or fixed-form equations for wind turbine performance modeling. Improved power curve models enable more reliable wind power output forecasting and can be integrated into turbine control systems to optimize performance and detect anomalies.
