A comparison between the ECMWF and COSMO Ensemble Prediction Systems applied to short-term wind power forecasting on real data

► A comparison between two ensemble models for wind power forecasting is shown. ► Novel application of COSMO-LEPS ensemble model for wind power forecasts. ► A full verification is performed with real power plant data in complex terrain. ► Higher spatial resolution leads to slightly better wind power probabilistic forecasts. ► A comparison between the ensemble mean and the deterministic model is shown.
