Data quality parameters

The data quality layer automatically removes absurd values and extreme outliers to ensure reliable analysis. The following table lists parameter bounds and outlier removal rules using the interquartile range (IQR) method.

Parameter Hard bounds (absurd values dropped) Outlier rule
Wind Speed (m/s) Greater than or equal to cut-in wind speed and less than or equal to cut-out wind speed (from power curve) IQR: Drop values outside [Q1 - 1.5 × IQR, Q3 + 1.5 × IQR] within selected wind speed range
Active Power (kW) Greater than 0 and up to 1.20 × Rated Power IQR per wind bin or global
Rotor RPM Greater than 0 and up to 1.20 × Rated Rotor RPM IQR or z-score
Generator RPM Greater than 0 and up to 1.20 × Rated Generator RPM IQR or z-score
Pitch Angle (°) -5 to 90 IQR
Nacelle Deviation (°) -180 to +180 IQR
Turbulence (%) 0 to 100 IQR
Wind Speed Standard Deviation Less than 2 Not finalized
Turbine Status = Performance N/A

The system applies data quality rules in the following order:

  1. Apply global wind speed filter to raw data (if specified)
  2. Drop absurd values using hard bounds
  3. Remove outliers using IQR method (per-chart on Y variable; optionally per X-bin). Use z-score only when bin counts are small (N less than 20)
  4. Perform binning (equal-width on X; default 20 bins; minimum 5 samples per bin)
  5. Calculate average line as mean(Y) per bin (fallback to median if skewness greater than 1)

Charts display dropped counts by rule (hard bound versus outlier) for each turbine in a tooltip.
