Resource Assessment: Latest news in models and data

Posters & Networking – including exhibitors’ private sessions

Plenary Session – Machine Learning & Big Data

SESSION DESCRIPTION

Machine Learning and Big Data are playing an ever-greater role in the wind industry. Vast amounts of data are being generated by operating wind farms, meteorological measurement and models. At the same time, researchers and consultants are looking at how to apply machine learning developments to complex analysis and modelling problems.

In this session we will then turn to how insights from the worlds of retail and logistics can be used in applications of Machine Learning and Big Data in wind energy. Later we will hear about applications of Machine Learning and Big Data inside the wind energy sector.

Resource Assessment – Latest news in models and data

SESSION DESCRIPTION

Sometimes it’s difficult to fit the most cutting-edge research in a particular workshop session, either because it’s a completely new topic or because it embraces several connected ones. The aim of this session is to provide a preeminent voice to excellent works which have in common its singularity.

Learning objectives:

  • Attendees will get an overview of current research trends in wind farm control.
  • Attendees will learn about MPAS, a strong candidate for the next generation of atmospheric multiscale models.
  • Attendees will discover a smarter way to reduce wind turbine noise, driven by local real-time measurements.
  • Attendees will be briefed on the new standard for wind speed measurement with nacelle-mounted lidar and its implications.
