This curtailment skews the wind power production database creating a huge challenge to the overall power production forecast. Thus, it is presented a solution which has allowed more accurate forecasts in order to improve the renewable production and reduce the fuel consumption in thermal power plants. The proposed filtering approach demonstrated to be a good solution allowing wind power forecasts with less error and net load forecasts with more accuracy.engKernel Density EstimatorPower curtailment,Power forecastingjournal articleDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/HEAd16.2016.2650
