Image-Based Abnormal Data Detection and Cleaning Algorithm via Wind Power Curve

Abstract

This paper proposes an image-based algorithm for detecting and cleaning the wind turbine abnormal data based on wind power curve (WPC) images. The abnormal data are categorized into three types, negative points, scattered points, and stacked points. The proposed algorithm includes three steps, data pre-cleaning, normal data extraction, and data marking. The negative abnormal points, whose wind speed is greater than cut-in speed and power is below zero, are first filtered in the data precleaning step. The scatter figure of the rest wind power data forms the WPC image and corresponding binary image. In the normal data extraction step, the principle part of the WPC binary image, representing the normal data, is extracted by the mathematical morphology operation (MMO). The optimal parameter setting of MMO is determined by minimizing the dissimilarity between the extracted principle part and the reference WPC image based on Hu moments. In the data mark step, the pixel points of scattered and stacked abnormal data are successively identified. The mapping relationship between the wind power points and image pixel points is built to mark the wind turbine normal and abnormal data. The proposed image-based algorithm is compared with kmeans, local outlier factor, combined algorithm based on change point grouping algorithm and quartile algorithm (CA). Numerous experiments based on 33 wind turbines from two wind farms are conducted to validate the effectiveness, efficiency, and universality of the proposed method.

An Abnormal Data Processing Method Based on An Ensemble Algorithm for Early Warning of Wind Turbine Failure

“…Because of the distribution characteristics of sparse abnormal data, it is suitable to use the density clustering method for processing. Stacked abnormal data are usually caused by wind turbine failure, wind curtailment commands, and communication failures [40]. It is difficult to handle stacked abnormal data by using the density clustering method.…”

Short-Term Wind Speed Forecasting Based on Information of Neighboring Wind Farms

“…A large proportion of electricity is generated using fossil fuels in the current energy structure and thus induced air pollution are observed globally. Renewable energy, including solar energy, hydro energy, wind energy, biomass energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, etc., has attained great attentions in both academic and industry [1]- [4]. Owning the advantages of less pollution, high efficiency and environmental friendliness, wind energy has been considered as one of the most important renewable energy sources recently [5], and numerous wind farms are being constructed all over the world.…”

Deep Neural Networks for the Classification of Pure and Impure Strawberry Purees

“…During the last few decades, deep neural networks (DNNs) have recently achieved great success in a number of time series modeling tasks [11][12][13][14] and motivate the recent utilization of deep learning models for TSC [15]. Contrary to conventional methods, the biggest advantage of DNNs is the feature extraction could be conducted by the neural network automatically.…”
