Journal ArticleDOI

Solar forecasting methods for renewable energy integration

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theory behind these forecasting methodologies, and a number of successful applications of solar forecasting methods for both the solar resource and the power output of solar plants at the utility scale level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of forecasting techniques for solar power production with no exogenous inputs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate and compare several forecasting techniques using no exogenous inputs for predicting the solar power output of a 1MWp, single-axis tracking, photovoltaic power plant operating in Merced, California.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanics with variable-order differential operators

TL;DR: This work presents the novel concept of Variable-Order (VO) Calculus through the description of a simple problem in Mechanics, and the VO-Calculus formulation is compared to a CO- Calculus model to show the limitations of the latter in resolving the transition between the relevant dynamic regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI

History and trends in solar irradiance and PV power forecasting: A preliminary assessment and review using text mining

TL;DR: This paper presents a preliminary study on how to review solar irradiance and photovoltaic power forecasting using text mining, which serves as the first part of a forthcoming series of text mining applications in solar forecasting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intra-hour DNI forecasting based on cloud tracking image analysis

TL;DR: In this article, an image processing methodology using Total Sky Imagers (TSIs) to generate short-term forecasts of Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) at the ground level is described.
