With the fast development of wind power installation in China

wind power integration capacity constrained by load regulation capability becomes the key problem in power system

and accurate wind power forecasting of high proportion wind power becomes more and more important. At present

wind power forecasting plays a key role in dealing with the challenges of balancing supply and demand in any electricity system. In the future

short-term and ultra-short-term wind power forecasting will play a greater role in standby market

spot market and auxiliary service market

which is an important support means for wind power to participate in market transactions. In this paper

research and periodic summary are illustrated on the roadmaps and applications of wind power forecasting

including the whole process of numeric weather prediction

wind power conversion model

wind power forecasting system applications and evaluation indices of forecasting performance

and the prospects in future technical route are provided.
