Why is it important?

The paper offers a unique and wider view by reviewing the state of the art in both the deterministic and probabilistic wind power forecasting methodologies and by identifying their advantages and disadvantages. It further provides comparative results among the models of the reviewed works, based on evaluation measures. Furthermore, it proposes future research goals of deterministic and probabilistic forecasting models, not only to improve the methodologies used in forecasting, but also to make both deterministic and probabilistic forecasting models more useful and helpful in energy markets and power systems. Finally, it aims to help researchers in having a view of possible expectations in research cases corresponding to the ones compared in the paper.
