This book provides an in-depth discussion on how data science methods can improve decision making for wind energy applications, from near-ground wind field analysis and forecast, turbine power curve fitting and performance analysis, turbine reliability assessment, and maintenance optimization for wind turbines and wind farms. A broad set of data science methods will be covered, including time series models, spatio-temporal model and analysis, kernel regression, decision trees, k-NN, splines, Bayesian inference, and MCMC sampling. More importantly, the data science methods will be described in the context of wind energy applications, with specific wind energy examples and case studies.
