SOLAR PREDICTION OVERVIEW

• Solar Energy:– Dynamic in the atmosphere the oceans and in general life on earth.

– Solar water heating, water detoxification, water desalinization, electric power energy

generation from solar thermal power and photovoltaic energy, agricultural applications….• Need to characterize and predict incoming solar radiation to be used

as a energetic resource.

• Prediction General Techniques1. Numerical Weather Predictions Models

2. Statistical Prediction

• Forecasting Horizon– Nowcasting– Short Term– Medium Term– Long Term

FUTURE WORKS

• Wavelet analysis and NN with Normalized data (Kt).• Use other NN architectures like Self-Organized Features

Maps (SOFMs).• Use network surface irradiance data forecasted from NWP

from European Centre Medium Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) as a new parameter in NN.

• Wavelet and temporal series technique.• Motion estimation with segmentation techniques in

satellite images.• Med-Long Term Prediction: EOF Analysis analysis to

relate different atmospheric oscillation patterns, NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation), ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation),… with expected solar irradiance.
