Machine learning applications for predicting system production in renewable energy

Renewable energy systems play pivotal role in addressing the global challenge of sustainable energy production. Efficiently harnessing energy from renewable sources requires accurate prediction models to optimize system production. This paper delves into the realm of predictive modeling, focusing on the utilization of machine learning techniques to forecast system production in renewable energy systems. The investigation incorporates a range of factors such as wind speed, sunshine, air pressure, radiation, air temperature, and relative air humidity, alongside temporal data ('Date-Hour (NMT)'). These factors undergo rigorous curation and preprocessing to ensure the reliability and quality of the predictive model. Various machine learning algorithms, including linear regression, decision tree, random forest, and support vector machine (SVM), are employed to examine the relationships between these factors and system production. The findings are assessed using metrics such as mean squared error, mean absolute error, and R-squared. Through comparative analysis, the study illuminates the strengths and limitations of each algorithm, providing valuable insights into their suitability for renewable energy forecasting. This paper adds to renewable energy research by examining how machine learning predicts system production. The insights are valuable for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in sustainable energy development.
