The photovoltaic energy is widely used in modern power network due to its environmental and economic benefits. Solar car park is one of the solar photovoltaic system applications. The photovoltaic energy has disadvantages of intermittence and weather's variation. Thus, photovoltaic power prediction is very necessary to guarantee a balance between the produced energy and the solar car park requirements. The prediction of the photovoltaic energy is related to solar irradiation and ambient temperature forecasting. The aim of this study was to evaluate various methodologies for weather data estimation namely: the empirical models, the multilayer perceptron neural network and the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. The simulation results show that the ANFIS model can be successfully used to forecast the photovoltaic power. The forecasted photovoltaic energy was used for the solar car park lighting office management algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
