Abstract
Effective machine learning regression models are useful toolsets for managing and planning energy in PV grid-connected systems. Machine learning regression models, however, have been crucial in the analysis, forecasting, and prediction of numerous parameters that support the efficient management of the production and distribution of green energy. This article proposes multiple regression models for power prediction using the Sharda University PV dataset (2022 Edition). The proposed regression model is inspired by a unique data pre-processing technique for forecasting PV power generation. Performance metrics, namely mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), R2-score, and predicted vs. actual value plots, have been used to compare the performance of the different regression. Simulation results show that the multilayer perceptron regressor outperforms the other algorithms, with an RMSE of 17.870 and an R2 score of 0.9377. Feature importance analysis has been performed to determine the most significant features that influence PV power generation.
