Abstract:

This paper compares four practical methods for electricity generation forecasting of grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) plants, namely Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) modeling, SARIMAX modeling (SARIMA modeling with exogenous factor), modified SARIMA modeling, as a result of an a posteriori modification of the SARIMA model, and ANN-based modeling. Interesting results regarding the necessity and the advantages of using exogenous factors in a time series model are concluded from this comparison. Finally, intra-day forecasts updates are implemented to evaluate the forecasting errors of the SARIMA and the SARIMAX models. Their comparison highlights differences in accuracy between the two models. All models are compared in terms of the Normalized (with respect to the PV installed capacity) Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE) criterion. Simulation results from the application of the forecasting models in a PV plant in Greece using real-world data are presented.
