Predicting Solar Array Output Using Weather Sensor Data

Maximilian P.

With the recent push for renewable energy sources, solar energy is one that is readily available. This paper will explore how to predict the power output of a solar array based on weather data, collected from sensors throughout each day.

With the recent push for renewable energy sources, solar energy is one that is readily available. This paper will explore how to predict the power output of a solar array based on weather data, collected from sensors throughout each day.. With the predicted output of a solar array, a grid operator could decide which other sources of energy would be needed to run to meet energy demand. A linear regression machine learning model will be used to create a correlation between weather data such as irradiation and power output. The best model, the Gradient Boosting Regressor, produced a mean average error of just under 300w.

Identifying Parameters in Water Potability Analysis Through Machine Learning
Predicting whether the water is potable or not can be helpful for people who are reliant on bodies of water and redirect them to safer options. It will also be beneficial to apply the algorithm to other places where it is expensive and inefficient to send people out and collect water samples. Over the past couple of decades, researchers have often commented on the lack of funding as a source of error when it comes to data analysis and the accuracy of the research.
