 The comparison of two wind speed forecasting models showed that the multivariate model outperformed the univariate linear model in terms of accuracy. The multivariate model had higher accuracy rates than the univariate model by up to 5.5 percent and 10 percent, respectively, for the hourly data set and up to 2.3 percent and 12.8 percent, respectively, for the 10-minute data set.
