A data-driven approach to optimize the total energy consumption of the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system in a typical office facility is presented. A multi-layer perceptron ensemble is selected to build the total energy model integrating three indoor air quality models,...

Daily solar power prediction using data-driven approaches is studied. Four famous data-driven approaches, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), the Support Vector Machine (SVM), the k-nearest neighbor (kNN), and the multivariate linear regression (MLR), are applied to develop the prediction...

Different models for monitoring wind farm power output are considered. Data mining and evolutionary computation are integrated for building the models for prediction and monitoring. Different models using wind speed as input to predict the total power output of a wind farm are compared and...

The paper presents an intelligent wind turbine control system based on models integrating the following three approaches: data mining, model predictive control, and evolutionary computation. To enhance the control strategy of the intelligent system, a multi-objective model is proposed. The model...

A data-driven approach to the performance analysis of wind turbines is presented. Turbine performance is captured with a power curve. The power curves are constructed using historical wind turbine data. Three power curve models are developed, one by the least squares method and the other by the...

A data-driven approach for maximization of the power produced by wind turbines is presented. The power optimization objective is accomplished by computing optimal control settings of wind turbines using data mining and evolutionary strategy algorithms. Data mining algorithms identify a...

An evolutionary computation approach for optimization of power factor and power output of wind turbines is discussed. Data-mining algorithms capture the relationships among the power output, power factor, and controllable and non-controllable variables of a 1.5MW wind turbine. An evolutionary...
