Application of XAI-based framework for PV Energy Generation Forecasting

The structural changes in the energy sector caused by renewable sources and digitization have resulted in an increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), including Machine Learning (ML) models. However, these models’ black-box nature and complexity can create issues with transparency and trust, thereby hindering their interpretability. The use of Explainable AI (XAI) can offer a solution to these challenges. This paper explores the application of an XAI-based framework to analyze and evaluate a photovoltaic energy generation forecasting problem and contribute to the trustworthiness of ML solutions.
