In this letter, nonparametric statistical inference is applied to designing a simple, inexpensive method of verifying the power performance of a wind turbine. The proposed method uses the data collected by the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and the guaranteed power curve of the turbine, and it says whether the power performance of a wind turbine differed significantly from what would be expected.
