Abstract

A wind energy forecasting method with extreme wind speed prediction function cooperated with a central computer, comprising the steps of: inputting a weather data which contains a numerical weather prediction data; implementing a modification with a first model output statistics; implementing a modification with a physical model in accordance with the output of the first model output statistics that can iteratively calculate the results by varying the angles of wind direction; implementing a modification with a second model output statistics; and implementing a prediction of extreme wind speed caused by typhoon, which comprises the following sub-steps of: using a wind and typhoon database to find track data of plural historical typhoons within a certain distance from a target typhoon; using an extreme wind and wind energy prediction tool to calculate at least one extreme wind speed in the future of the target typhoon and calculate the probability of occurring the extreme wind speed; and modifying the extreme wind speed with the physical model to the extreme wind speed at the position or height of a wind turbine.
