power data for Germany: 4 of 45 turbines, power < 0 ?

[denis-bz]

Hi Climetlab people, may I bother you with a couple of problems: 1) cml.load_dataset("maelstrom-power-production", wind_turbine_id=turbineid ) works ok for turbines 1 .. 4, but 5 .. 45 raise errors

    requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: 
    https://storage.ecmwf.europeanweather.cloud/MAELSTROM_AP6/production_data/wind_turbine_5.nc

2) for turbines 1 .. 3, there are a few way-off values:

production: (228105, 1, 1, 1)     quantiles [-6549 -6 23 165 423 860 6552]
  min -6.55e+03 at (175558, 0, 0, 0)  max 6.55e+03 at (154941, 0, 0, 0)

Could this be related to "phantom strom" -- do you have that in the UK ?

By the way the Jupyter notebooks, Maelstrom pdf table 4.3, are now under https://github.com/4castRenewables not https://github.com/faemmi .

climetlab version: 0.11.31

Thanks, cheers -- denis

Hey @denis-bz,

1. Unfortunately, we are only allowed to provide data for 4 of the previously 45 turbines. We are really sorry for this, but this is out of our responsibility since we (4cast) are not the owner of the data. This has been updated in the README.md roughly 1 month ago already.
2. Yes, there are a few outliers that might show extremely large and unrealistic positive or negative production. We are not entirely sure about the origin of those, but they're likely just a result of technical issues and thus should be cleaned from the data before processing them.

Regards Fabian

Thanks @faemmi, missed that in the Readme also missed your utils/*py -- looks pretty good, redid a bit of that :( more tomorrow

@faemmi, forwhatitsworth, a summary of the 4 turbines and comparison with GWA --

Can you or your colleagues point me to other windspeed and power timeseries, onshore or a wiki for that ? Thanks, cheers
