Özet

Accurate estimation of wind power intensity (WPI) is critical for regional energy planning, particularly in geographically complex inland regions where conventional analytical models often fail. This study proposes a real-time compatible regression framework for continuous wind power intensity prediction using daily meteorological data from the Maden region of Turkey. A Gradient Boosting Regression Tree (GBRT) model is trained offline on chronologically ordered data and deployed in a forward-only sequential prediction scheme that prevents access to future observations. The dataset is divided into training (70%), validation (10%), and real-time test (20%) subsets to realistically emulate operational conditions. Results demonstrate strong predictive performance on the real-time test set, with low error levels and high agreement between predicted and observed WPI values. Time-series and scatter analyses confirm the model’s ability to track temporal variations in wind power intensity under realistic deployment constraints. The proposed framework offers a practical and deployable solution for real-time wind power intensity estimation in complex inland terrains.
