Solar energy forecasting is essential for (1) power system planning, management, and operation, requiring accurate predictions. It is crucial for (2) ensuring a continuous and sustainable power supply to customers and (3) optimizing the operation and control of renewable energy systems and the electricity market. Recently, research has been focusing on developing solar energy forecasting models that can provide daily plans for power usage and production and be verified in the electricity market. In these prediction models, various data, including solar energy generation and climate data, are chosen to be utilized in the forecasting process. The most commonly used climate data (such as temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, solar radiation, and wind speed) significantly influence the fluctuations in solar energy generation based on weather conditions. Therefore, this paper proposes a hybrid forecasting model by combining the strengths of the Prophet model and the GRU model, which exhibits excellent predictive performance. The forecasting periods for solar energy generation are tested in short-term (2 days, 7 days) and medium-term (15 days, 30 days) scenarios. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the conventional Prophet model by more than twice in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and surpasses the modified GRU model by more than 1.5 times, showcasing superior performance.

Global Solar Radiation (GSR) is the key element for performance estimation of any Solar Power Plant (SPP). Its forecasting may help in estimation of power production from a SPP well in advance, and may also render help in optimal use of this power. Seasonal Auto-Regressive Moving Average (SARMA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models are combined in order to develop a hybrid model (SARMA-ANN) conceiving the characteristics of both linear and non-linear prediction models. This developed model has been used for prediction of GSR at Gorakhpur, situated in the northern region of India. The proposed model is beneficial for the univariate forecasting. Along with this model, we have also used Auto-Regressive Moving Average (ARMA), SARMA, ANN based models for 1 - 6 day-ahead forecasting of GSR on hourly basis. It has been found that the proposed model presents least RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and produces best forecasting results among all the models considered in the present study. As an application, the comparison between the forecasted one and the energy produced by the grid connected PV plant installed on the parking stands of the University shows the superiority of the proposed model.

In this paper the feasibility of wind power forecasting from MOS(Model Output Statistics) was evaluated at Gosan area in Jeju during February to Octoberin 2008. The observed wind data from wind turbine was compared with 24 hours and 48 hours forecasting wind data from MOS predicting. Coefficient of determination of measured wind speed from wind turbine and 24 hours forecasting from MOS was around 0.53 and 48 hours was around 0.30. These determination factors were increased to 0.65 from 0.53 and 0.35 from 0.30, respectively, when it comes to the prevailing wind direction($300^{\circ}\sim60^{\circ}$). Wind power forecasting ratio in 24 hours of MOS showed a value of 0.81 within 70% confidence interval and it also showed 0.65 in 80% confidence interval. It is suggested that the additional study of weather conditions be carried out when large error happened in MOS forecasting.

신재생에너지 산업이 발전함에 따라 태양광 발전에 대한 중요성이 확대되고 있다. 태양광 발전량을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 일사량 예측이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 패널이 존재하는 청주와 광주 지역을 선정하여 기상포털에서 제공하는 시간별 기상 데이터를 수집하여 연구하였다. 일사량 예측을 위하여 시계열 모형인 ARIMA, ARIMAX, seasonal ARIMA, seasonal ARIMAX, ARIMA-GARCH, ARIMAX-GARCH, seasonal ARIMA-GARCH, seasonal ARIMAX-GARCH 모형을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 모형의 예측 성능을 비교하고자 mean absolute error와 root mean square error를 사용하였다. 모형들의 예측 성능 비교 결과 일사량만 고려하였을 때는 이분산 문제를 고려한 seasonal ARIMA-GARCH 모형이 우수한 성능을 나타냈고, 외생변수를 활용한 ARIMAX 모형으로 일사량 예측을 한 경우가 가장 좋은 예측력을 나타냈다.

태양광 발전은 기상 상태에 따라 간헐적이기 때문에 태양광 발전의 효율과 경제성 향상을 위해 정확한 발전량 예측이 요구된다. 본 연구는 목포 기상대에서 예보하는 기상 데이터와 영암 태양광 발전소의 발전량 데이터를 이용하여 태양광 발전량 단기 딥러닝 예측모델을 제안하였다. 기상청은 기온, 강수량, 풍향, 풍속, 습도, 운량 등의 기상요소를 3일간 예보한다. 그러나 태양광 발전량 예측에 가장 중요한 기상요소인 일조 및 일사 일사량 예보하지 않는다. 제안 모델은 예보 기상요소를 이용하여, 일조 및 일사 일사량을 예측 하였다. 또한 발전량은 기상요소에 예측된 일조 및 일사 기상요소를 추가하여 예측하였다. 제안 모델의 발전량 예측 결과 DNN의 평균 RMSE와 MAE는 0.177과 0.095이며, RNN은 0.116과 0.067이다. 또한, LSTM은 가장 좋은 결과인 0.100과 0.054이다. 향후 본 연구는 다양한 입력요소의 결합으로 보다 향상된 예측결과를 도출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 정부의 친환경 정책에 따라 태양광 발전 설비가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 태양광 발전량은 에너지원인 태양의 특성상 계절에 따라 하루 중 발전이 이루어지는 시간이 일정하지 않다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 태양광 발전량 예측에서는 연속된 시간간격으로 수집된 자료에 적용할 수 있는 시계열 모형 적용에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 연속된 시간자료를 각 시간대 별로 분리, 재구성하여 24개의 (1시-24시) 일별 자료 형태로 예측에 활용하는 방법이다. 강원도 영암 태양광 발전소의 시간별 발전량 자료를 공공데이터포털에서 수집하여 연구하였다. 기존방법과 제안된 방법의 성능차이를 비교하기 위해 ARIMAX, 신경망(neural network model) 모형을 동일한 모형과 변수를 가지는 환경에서 성능차이를 확인하였다.

In this paper, a forecasting model of wind speed at Walryong Site, Jeju Island is presented, which has been developed and evaluated as a first step toward establishing Korea Forecasting Model of Wind Power Generation. The forecasting model is constructed based on neural network and is trained with wind speed data observed at Cosan Weather Station located near by Walryong Site. Due to short period of measurements at Walryong Site for training statistical model Gosan Weather Station's long-term data are substituted and then transplanted to Walryong Site by using Measure-Correlate-Predict technique. One to three-hour advance forecasting of wind speed show good agreements with the monitoring data of Walryong site with the correlation factors 0.96 and 0.88, respectively.

As increasing global interest in renewable energy due to the ongoing climate crisis, there is a growing need for efficient technologies to manage such resources. This study focuses on the predictive skill of daily solar power generation using weather observation and forecast data. Meteorological data from the Korea Meteorological Administration and solar power generation data from the Korea Power Exchange were utilized for the period from January 2017 to May 2023, considering both inland (Daejeon) and coastal (Busan) regions. Temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and precipitation were selected as relevant meteorological variables for solar power prediction. All data was preprocessed by removing their systematic components to use only their residuals and the residual of solar data were further processed with weighted adjustments for homoscedasticity. Four models, MLR (Multiple Linear Regression), RF (Random Forest), DNN (Deep Neural Network), and RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), were employed for solar power prediction and their performances were evaluated based on predicted values utilizing observed meteorological data (used as a reference), 1-day-ahead forecast data (referred to as fore1), and 2-day-ahead forecast data (fore2). DNN-based prediction model exhibits superior performance in both regions, with RNN performing the least effectively. However, MLR and RF demonstrate competitive performance comparable to DNN. The disparities in the performance of the four different models are less pronounced than anticipated, underscoring the pivotal role of fitting models using residuals. This emphasizes that the utilized preprocessing approach, specifically leveraging residuals, is poised to play a crucial role in the future of solar power generation forecasting.

Energy conversion to renewable energy is being promoted to solve the recently serious environmental pollution problem. Solar energy is one of the promising natural renewable energy sources. Compared to other energy sources, it is receiving great attention because it has less ecological impact and is sustainable. It is important to predict power generation at a future time in order to maximize the output of solar energy and ensure the stability and variability of power. In this paper, solar power generation data and sensor data were used. Using the PCC(Pearson Correlation Coefficient) analysis method, factors with a large correlation with power generation were derived and applied to the GAM(Generalized Additive Model). And the prediction accuracy of the power generation prediction model was judged. It aims to derive efficient solar power generation in the future and improve power generation performance.
