Short summary
We present a wind power forecasting procedure, that consists of a physics-based component generated at a central server, and a data-based component generated on-site the wind power plant (WPP). It provides blackout-robust data transmission to grid operators and high forecast reliability, especially in the very-short term horizon. This endeavor aims at employing WPPs for support in exceptional or critical grid situations, where short term decision making is most relevant.
