Abstract
ABSTRACTSupport vector machine is proposed to find wind speed at higher heights using measurements at lower heights. The mean absolute percentage error between measured and the estimated wind speed at height 40 m is found to be satisfactory. After validation at 40 m, the model was used to calculate the wind speed at hub heights up to 100 m. Annual energy yield was found to be increasing with hub height and, hence, accurate estimation of wind speed at heights becomes essential for realistic wind energy assessment. Furthermore, the plant capacity factor was found to be increasing approximately 1% for each 10-m increase in hub height.
