摘要

With the rapid development of Solar energy-based electricity generation, there is a need to know the fluctuation of solar irradiance in advance for the stability of the photovoltaic power system and safety of the power grid. Therefore, short-term irradiance predictions are widely used in decision support for power distribution systems. This paper contains the development of monthly forecast models based on deep learning sequence modelling for one-day ahead forecasts of half-hourly INSAT-3D Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) images. The architecture of the forecast model is decided by Network Architecture Search (NAS) algorithms by tuning hyperparameters in user provided search space. The developed month-wise models capture spatial–temporal relationships in historical GHI images and perform forecasting. The forecasting ability of the forecast models are evaluated using normalized Root Mean Square Error (nRMSE) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) under monsoon and non-monsoon conditions. The models from the proposed methodology can predict images with nRMSE and SSIM of 8.08% and 91.84% respectively in non-monsoon months and with nRMSE and SSIM of 33.09 and 61.95% respectively in monsoon months over the Gujarat region of India.
