A Two-Regime Statistical Framework for Wind-Power Distributions: From Wind-Speed Fluctuations to Turbine Control
S. Mitra, S. E. Lakhal, C. P. Connaughton +2
Wind-power variability is a major challenge for the reliable integration of utility-scale wind energy into modern power systems. Although wind-speed statistics are often described…
Rician Distribution as a Physically Interpretable Model for Wind-Speed Statistics
S. Mitra, S. E. Lakhal, C. P. Connaughton +2
The statistics of atmospheric wind variations are commonly modeled using Gaussian or Weibull forms, which often trade physical interpretability against statistical accuracy, especi…
Collective and nonlinear structure of wind power correlations
Samy E. Lakhal, J. E. Sardonia, M. M. Bandi
We describe the correlation structure of wind power fluctuations in a farm of 80 turbines, sampled over 5 years. We report the presence of universal, collective, and nonlinear corr…
Wrapping and unwrapping multifractal fields
Samy Lakhal, Laurent Ponson, Michael Benzaquen +1
We develop a powerful yet simple method that generates multifractal fields with fully controlled scaling properties. Adopting the Multifractal Random Walk (MRW) model of Bacry et a…
Multiscale Relevance of Natural Images
Samy Lakhal, Alexandre Darmon, Iacopo Mastromatteo +2
We use an agnostic information-theoretic approach to investigate the statistical properties of natural images. We introduce the Multiscale Relevance (MSR) measure to assess the rob…
A New Spin on Color Quantization
Samy Lakhal, Alexandre Darmon, Michael Benzaquen
We address the problem of image color quantization using a Maximum Entropy based approach. Focusing on pixel mapping we argue that adding thermal noise to the system yields better…
Beauty and structural complexity
Samy Lakhal, Alexandre Darmon, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud +1
We revisit the long-standing question of the relation between image appreciation and its statistical properties. We generate two different sets of random images well distributed al…
