Summary
Based on existing power generation data, an hourly area solar power estimation model using the parallel Elman neural network with solar radiation and system conversion efficiency is proposed. The accuracy and reliability of the assessment were verified using the information/data of solar photovoltaic power stations in various regions and timescales. Using the established appraisal algorithm involving K‐means evaluation and inverse distance weighting, regional forecasting of solar power generation was achieved. The prediction accuracy was also investigated using the actual details of the photovoltaic power stations. The results of the proposed model can assist the electricity dispatcher to not only precisely monitor the trend of solar power generation in different areas, but also coordinate with traditional power plants to meet the load demand more accurately. The proposed method can benefit power dispatching involving a larger scale of intermittent and unstable solar power electricity in the future.
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.
