A key feature in the management of wind energy systems with storage is the probabilistic wind speed forecast. In this paper we consider a mathematical model to determine the operative management of a wind energy system with storage. The model includes all the important elements of the energy system. Decisions take into account data concerning to the structure of selling prices and penalties as well as updated probabilistic wind speed forecast. The main focus of this work is to study the influence of the probabilistic wind forecast accuracy in the operative management of a wind energy system with storage. A simulation based optimization methodology is proposed to conduct the computational study.
