  Abstract

Recently, fossil fuel depletion and global warming problems are emerging. To solve these problems, solar energy comes into the limelight which is eco-friendly and has unlimited energy sources. For efficient operation and improving economic efficiency in managing solar power, accurate prediction of photovoltaic power generation is needed. This study proposes a technique to predict solar power in time units through Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and weather information such as temperature, humidity, cloud coverage, and ultraviolet index. The proposed technique is highly available by predicting the solar power generation of the desired section instead of the fixed time point, and the accuracy of the solar power generation prediction is increased by predicting insolation that is most closely related to photovoltaic power. The power generation prediction results of the LSTM based forecast model show that the error rates of MAE and NMAE are 1.5424 and 0.0454, respectively, and the error rates are lower than those of MAE and NMAE of the DNN based forecast model, 1.9347, 0.0569.
