This paper provides a review of wind forecasting models and their applicability to high-altitude wind power generators such as large wind turbines and airborne devices. These devices are affected by factors such as turbulence and wind shear, which are majors factors characterizing wind flow in altitude. Therefore, as the altitude increases, the power law normally used for the vertical wind profile becomes invalid. Accordingly, accurate forecasting techniques that consider nonlinearity in wind properties are significant. As numeric models for such purposes are computationally demanding, data-driven methods are starting to gain prominence to overcome the shortcomings. Implementing these new methods will affect the estimation of power output, structural response, and farm planning for both wind turbines and airborne wind energy systems.
