dc.description.abstract | To minimize the risk of destabilizing the electricity grid by a sizeable share of solar PV, it is indispensable to forecast the contribution of solar power ahead of time, by 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day in advance, depending on the needs of the grid operation. This would allow the grid operator to take suitable grid management measures, such as up- or downscaling of the power output of other, adjustable generation capacities. However, the forecasting is particular challenging in the tropics due to high solar irradiance variability. The primary goal of this thesis is to develop novel robust irradiance forecasting models for application in the tropics. Several novel models based on statistical time series analysis and machine learning techniques are proposed, including short-term ESSS model, mid-term hybrid ANN/ESSS model, hybrid SOM/SVR/PSO model and spatial-temporal analysis. Superior forecasting accuracy has been achieved by the proposed models. | |
