New two-stage residual learning method improves solar irradiance forecast uncertainty

Researchers have developed a novel two-stage residual learning method to improve the accuracy of solar irradiance forecasts, particularly in estimating uncertainty. This approach uses a first long short-term memory (LSTM) network to predict expected irradiance and a second network to model the forecast error. By separately modeling the error, the method more accurately captures the total predictive uncertainty, which is crucial for decision-making in renewable energy generation. AI

IMPACT Enhances the reliability of renewable energy forecasts by improving uncertainty estimation in machine learning models.

    Two-stage residual learning for calibrated uncertainty in solar irradiance forecasts

    arXiv:2611.07444v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate forecasting of renewable generation requires not only point predictions but also reliable estimates of the uncertainty attached to them, particularly at extended horizons. Machine learning models are increasingly used to pr…
