Predicting of Photovoltaic Power Generation Using Similarity-Based Forecasting Models

Accurate forecasting in photovoltaic energy is one of the most essential integrated and influential events for managing the system of new and renewable energy sources in the power grid. The paper presents a practical approach using neural networks to predict photovoltaic energy generation. Applying neural networks in PV power generation forecasting is challenging due to unpredictable environmental changes such as solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc. Neural network methods are distinguished by achieving high performance in prediction compared to traditional mathematical models that have difficulties dealing with complex nonlinear relationships, resulting in substandard prediction. The proposed neural network-based forecasting model offers an effective way to improve the precision of estimating PV generation. It has a great deal of promise to enhance the integration and dependability of solar energy in the current electricity landscape because of its capacity to capture complex linkages in the data and adapt to changing circumstances.
