Identification of Extreme Wind Events Using a Weather Type Classification

The identification of extreme wind events and their driving forces are crucial to better integrating generation into the power system. Recent work related occurrence with some weather circulation patterns, enabling (i) ramps (ii) low-generation as well intrinsic features, such intensity time duration. Using Portugal a case study, this focuses on application classification-type methodology link conditions generation, namely, different types events. A long-term period is used assess characterize changes in corresponding production. High variability expected under cyclonic regimes, whereas most common anticyclonic regimes. results provide significant insights regarding production Portugal, an increase its predictability.
