University of Iowa‚ Iowa City‚ IA 52242-1527 Prediction of Wind Farm Power Ramp Rates: A Data-Mining Approach In this paper‚ multivariate time series models were built to predict the power ramp rates of a wind farm. The power changes were predicted at 10 min intervals. Multivariate time series models were built with data-mining algorithms. Five different data-mining algorithms were tested using data collected at a wind farm. The support vector machine regression algorithm performed best out
