Line 9:

Forecasting of the wind power generation may be considered at different time scales, depending on the intended application:{{sfn|Devi|2021|p=80-81}}{{sfn|Hanifi|2020|p=3766}}

* ''very short-term'' forecasts (from seconds up to minutes) are used for the real-time turbine control and [[electrical grid]] management, as well as for [[market clearing]];

* ''short-term'' forecasts (from 30 minutes up to hours) are used tofor [[Dispatchable generation|dispatch planning]], intelligent [[load shedding]] decisions;

* ''medium-term'' forecasts (from 6 hours up to a day) are used for to make decisions for switching the turbine on or off for safety or conditions on the market;

* ''long-term'' forecasts (from a day up to a week or even a year) are used for long term planning (to schedule the maintenance or [[unit commitment]], optimize the [[cost of operation]]). Maintenance of offshore wind farms may be particularly costly, so optimal planning of maintenance operations is of particular importance.
