The accurate and reliable short-term wind speed forecasting can benefit the stability of the grid operation. However, it is a challenging issue to generate consistently accurate forecasts due to the complex and stochastic nature of wind speed distribution in meteorological interactions. In this study, a novel solution using AdaBoost neural network in combination with wavelet decomposition is proposed to solve the defects of the lower accuracy and enhance the model robustness. Based on the real data provided by sampling device weak wind turbine (type-FD77) in a wind farm plant of East China, the experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed strategy can significantly enhance model robustness and effectively improve the prediction accuracy.
