Model-free computation of ultra-short-term prediction intervals of solar irradiance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an ultra-short-term dynamic interval predictor (DIP) of solar irradiance. Our DIP relies on experimentally observed correlations between the derivative of the solar irradiance and the forecast error in the next time-step. The main originalities of this DIP are (i) its independence from the method used for the point forecast of solar irradiance, (ii) its independence from the error distribution of the point-forecast method. We compare the DIP with the most common prediction interval methods. By using significant data set covering several months of experimental observations, we have observed higher accuracy and lower width of the prediction intervals of the proposed DIP. 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملEstimation of Global Solar Irradiance Using a Novel combination of Ant Colony Optimization and Empirical Models
In this paper, a novel approach for the estimation of global solar irradiance is proposed based on a combination of empirical correlation and ant colony optimization. Empirical correlation has been used to estimate monthly average of daily global solar irradiance on a horizontal surface. The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm has been applied as a swarm-intelligence technique to tune the c...
متن کاملReconstruction of solar spectral irradiance since the Maunder minimum
[1] Solar irradiance is the main external driver of the Earth’s climate. Whereas the total solar irradiance is the main source of energy input into the climate system, solar UV irradiance exerts control over chemical and physical processes in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. The time series of accurate irradiance measurements are, however, relatively short and limit the assessment of the solar con...
