What is it about?

In this paper, we proposed a novel approach based on Gaussian Process (GP) for anomaly detection. Yaw misalignment is used as a case study for this paper. In order to judge GP model effectiveness, two other methods based on binning constructed have been tested and compared with GP based algorithm.

Why is it important?

In this paper, we found that GP model was able to detect the anomaly effectively with the alarm raised only 1.5 hrs. after the fault occurred. Not only is the GP method able to detect the yaw misalignment quickly, but it produces no false positives, in contrast to other binned based models (described in the paper), hence confirming that the GP approach provides both fast and robust fault identification.
