New deep learning model IMPACT improves photovoltaic power forecasting

Researchers have developed a novel deep learning framework called IMPACT for probabilistic photovoltaic power forecasting. This multimodal model integrates data from plant-level temporal history, inverter-level spatial cloud dynamics, solar geometry, and meteorological states. The framework utilizes a graph attention encoder and gated cross-attention to fuse these inputs, outperforming 14 baseline models with a forecast skill score of 0.2950. The model demonstrates robust performance even in challenging overcast and variable sky conditions. AI

IMPACT This multimodal deep learning approach could enhance the accuracy and reliability of renewable energy forecasting systems.
