Cleaning of Abnormal Wind Speed Power Data Based on Quartile RANSAC Regression by Fengjuan Zhang, Xiaohui Zhang, Zhilei Xu, Keliang Dong, Zhiwei Li, Yubo Liu

“…Firstly, the first type of abnormal data is cleaned based on operational criteria; secondly, the quartile method is used to eliminate sparse abnormal data to obtain a clearer boundary line; on this basis, the Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is employed to eliminate stacked abnormal data; finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in cleaning abnormal data with a high proportion of stacked abnormalities is verified through case studies, and evaluation indicators are introduced through comparative experiments to quantitatively assess the cleaning effect. …”
