Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) power is progressively being subsumed into power grids. Consequently, reliable PV power forecasting (PVPF) has become essential to avoid ramp events that can adversely affect the operations of integrated power systems. This article presents a deep-learning-based algorithm for PVPF. The gated recurrent units (GRU) network was implemented to predict the non-linear spatiotemporal correlations of the weather data, leading to higher reliability of the PV stations. Experimental results obtained from actual testing demonstrate the validity of the GRU networks for accurate PVPF, contributing to the efficient operation and management of smart grids and renewable energy systems. The conducted case study shows that the proposed model outperforms bidirectional long short term memory (BiLSTM) and long short term memory (LSTM) models in terms of computation power, root-mean-square error, and mean absolute error metrics.
