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.

Using pip: pip install git+https://github.com/cigroup-ol/windml.git
.
The basemap
is tricky to install unless you are using conda (conda install basemap
). Otherwise you should install from source e.g. : pip install https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/archive/v1.0.7rel.tar.gz
.
pkgconfig, freetype and libpng are necessary to build the package from source (matplotlib install depends on it). The requirements.txt file is purely cosmetic as scikit-learn requires scipy (and numpy) to be preinstalled and more importantly there is no guarantee that scipy will be installed prior to scikit-learn.
- MacOS:
brew install pkg-config
brew install freetype
brew install libpng
