Deep learning models and an advection method for solar radiation forecasting
Reliable solar radiation and photovoltaic power prediction is essential for the safe and stable operation of electric power systems. Cloud cover is highly related with solar radiation, but existing advection-/extrapolation-based cloud forecast methods have difficulties in capturing cloud development. Researchers from KNMI have applied and compared two deep learning models and an advection method (optical…
