The importance of wind in smart grids with a large number of renewable energy resources is increasing. With the growing infrastructure of wind turbines and the availability of time-series data with high spatial and temporal resolution, the application of data mining techniques comes into play.
The windML framework provides an easy-to-use access to wind data sources within the Python world, building upon numpy, scipy, sklearn, and matplotlib. As a machine learning module, it provides versatile tools for various learning tasks like time-series prediction, classification, clustering, dimensionality reduction, and related tasks.
For an installation guide, an overview of the architecture, and the functionalities of windML, please visit the Getting Started page. For a formal description of the applied techniques, see Techniques. The Examples gallery illustrates the main functionalities.
