A Hierarchical Approach Using Machine Learning Methods in Solar Photovoltaic Energy Production Forecasting

We evaluate and compare two common methods, artificial neural networks (ANN) and support vector regression (SVR), for predicting energy productions from a solar photovoltaic (PV) system in Florida 15 min, 1 h and 24 h ahead of time. A hierarchical approach is proposed based on the machine learning a...
