A transformer-based approach for solar power prediction: capturing temporal patterns for grid stability
摘要
The accurate forecasting of solar power generation are crucial for optimizing energy management, maintaining grid stability, and supporting renewable energy integration. This study proposes a transformer-based model for solar power prediction, using its self-attention mechanism to capturing long-term dependencies and temporal patterns in time-series data. The model’s performance is compared with four advanced neural architectures: BiLSTM, Attention-LSTM, CNN, and GRU. The Transformer model outperformed all other models, achieving the lowest Mean Absolute Error (MAE: 0.0025) and the highest
