Wind Turbine Output Prediction (Image Source: https://lumifyenergy.com)

Exploratory Data Analysis and Modeling the output of Wind Turbine Generators

The project included an exploratory data analysis and evaluation of regression and machine learning algorithms using Python sci-kit learn tools. Models were trained and tested and metrics were compared to arrive at a final model.

Objective:

The objective of the project was to build a predictive model for Wind Turbine output.

🚀 About Me

I'm Bill—a power industry professional with 20+ years of experience in power generation. My background as a mechanical engineer led to me a role as project manager where I led the development and execution of power generation projects. These days, I'm diving into data science, visualization, and machine learning with the intention of using it as a tool to uncover insights and improve decision making in power project development, design, procurement, construction and operations.
