The current study presents a robust forecasting model for Solar PV panels, leveraging variations in environmental parameters to accurately predict output power. By focusing on real-time environmental influences, the model offers valuable insights for optimizing PV system performance in the short term.
One practical application includes the optimization of solar power plant performance, where accurate forecasting models can help operators better manage energy generation and distribution. Moreover, these models can aid in grid integration and energy storage management, contributing to the stability and efficiency of renewable energy systems.
Forecasting the output of these systems is essential for PV optimization and cost savings. In the IEA PVPS 2023 report, it is revealed that worldwide installations of PV panels have grown significantly in the past few years.
In the study by, solar PV power forecasting was performed using an ANN model, optimized with the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA), and trained with one year of historical PV output records from Qasim, Saudi Arabia . The model was fed with three variables, comprising two meteorological variables and measured PV output data.
