Overview
What this challenge is about.
Fit a GP regression to wind farm SCADA data, flag underperforming turbines using credible bounds, and validate results. Earn your verifiable certificate.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Use per-turbine Gaussian Process regression to flag genuine underperformance with calibrated uncertainty and a defensible false-positive budget.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply Gaussian Process regression with composed kernels to real time-series data
- Tune kernel hyperparameters via marginal likelihood maximization
- Use credible bounds to define a defensible anomaly threshold
- Communicate GP-based decisions to a non-statistician asset team
