Abstract: In response to the problem of severely overestimating wind speed loss in the wake zone when using the Jensen wake analysis model to analyze wake effects without considering the additional turbulence intensity brought by upstream fans on downstream wind speed recovery, a Gaussian wake model is proposed to consider wake effects and combine it with machine learning algorithms to improve existing short-term wind power prediction methods based on physical effects. This theoretically improves the accuracy of short-term wind power prediction models in predicting wind speed in the wake region. Experiments are conducted using historical wind power data from real wind farms, and the results show that compared to not considering wake effects, the model's prediction performance had a mean square error reduction of about 15%,and compared with the Jensen wake analysis model, the model's prediction performance had a mean square error reduction of about 7%.

Key words: wake effect, machine learning, wind power prediction, Gaussian wake analysis model
