Estimation of Solar Energy Production Data from Renewable Energy Sources Using ANN Method and Presenting It to the Public Benefit

Abstract

Nowadays, the use of renewable energy sources in electricity generation is gradually increasing compared to non-renewable sources, and artificial intelligence algorithms are effectively used in energy forecasting. In this study, a multi-layer feedforward ANN model was developed using real energy production data from solar panels of two different public enterprises for the years 2019-2022. Hyperparameter optimization was performed, and the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm was selected after comparison with other algorithms due to its superior performance. The data were split into 70% for training and 30% for testing, and seasonal prediction analyses were carried out. According to the results obtained, seasonal forecasts made using the ANN method were found to be highly accurate, especially during the summer months.

Keywords
