Generate Synthetic Failure Scenarios with Alpaca

testingChallengeNovember 21, 2025

Prompt Content

Develop a module that leverages Alpaca (or a similar local LLM) to generate realistic synthetic telemetry data for various BESS failure modes (e.g., gradual cell degradation, sudden thermal runaway, BMS software glitch). Provide Alpaca with a prompt describing a BESS scenario and ask it to output parameters or patterns that could simulate this failure in your telemetry stream. Use these synthetic failure scenarios to stress-test your anomaly detection system, ensuring it can identify different types of 'nightmares'.

Usage Tips

Copy the prompt and paste it into your preferred AI tool (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini)
