Data Science for Wind Energy: Power Curve Modeling and Production Performance Analysis
Abstract

In Prof Ding's book, Data Science for Wind Energy, the speaker discussed a set of wind operational problems through a general formulation of y=∫p(y│x)p(x)dx, where y is the power output and x is the wind and environmental input. The conditional density, p(y│x), or its mean function, E(y│x), is related to the power curve model of wind turbines. The model characterizes and quantifies a wind turbine’s performance and production efficiency. The data science of concern is in the form of nonparametric functional regression. The speaker will discuss the data science challenges encountered in wind applications and present examples in which data science solutions make sensible impacts.
