In IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology. Berlin : Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2014. ISSN: 1868-4238. Vol. 423, p. 361-368.978-3-642-54733-1978-3-642-54734-81868-4238http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/4891In this work is discussed the importance of the renewable production forecast in an island environment. A probabilistic forecast based on kernel density estimators is proposed. The aggregation of these forecasts, allows the determination of thermal generation amount needed to schedule and operating a power grid of an island with high penetration of renewable generation. A case study based on electric system of S. Miguel Island is presented. The results show that the forecast techniques are an imperative tool help the grid management.engProbabilistic renewable power forecastKernel density estimatorPower schedulingconference object10.1007/978-3-642-54734-8_40
