This paper introduces deep learning-based forecasting models for the continuous prediction of the aggregated production generated by CSP plants in Spain. These models use as inputs the expected top of atmosphere irradiance values and available weather conditions forecasts for the locations where the main CSP power plants are installed. The performances of the forecast models are analysed and compared by means of the most extended metrics in the literature for a whole year of CSP energy production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
