Summary

PowerStream is an IoT simulation platform that utilizes real-time data from 2 million sensors on global wind farms to predict and visualize the health of individual turbines and aggregate behavior of wind farms. The platform, powered by SingleStore, uses a machine learning algorithm to analyze temperature and vibration data points from these sensors and displays green or red states indicating normal or out-of-normal operating bounds. PowerStream's architecture includes simulated data producers, Apache Kafka, and a Javascript-based User Interface, which queries the SingleStore database to display states in real-time, depending on the map geography and zoom level selected by the user. The platform also incorporates geospatial functionality using SingleStore Geospatial capabilities, enabling users to view status of specific turbines or wind farms as they zoom in or out.
