Title: Change Point Detection for Marine Energy Series
Author(s): Rebecca Killick*+
Companies: Lancaster University
Address: Mathematics & Statistics, Lancaster, _, LA1 4YF, United Kingdom
Keywords: wavelets ; autocovariance ; non-stationary ; wave energy converter
Abstract:

We consider the problem of detecting changes in general autocovariance structure within marine energy data sets. An efficient and accurate analysis of such data is of considerable interest to those working in the energy sector as understanding the changing characteristics of marine energy is central to reliable design and development of energy converters. Detecting the presence of changepoints in marine energy time-series is of particular importance, since statistical and engineering modelling of the marine environment typically assumes stationarity of the environment (in time). Drawing on recent work for detecting autocovariance changes in Killick et al. (2012) we consider changes in autocovariance within a multi-axis wave energy converter.
