The outbreak of the COVID-19 disease has exerted a deep and extensive influence on the energy sector. The work modality and lifestyle caused by the confinement policy have increased electricity consumption in the residential sector. In such a way that the application of photovoltaic solar energy (PV) is rapidly evolving to mitigate the problems caused. However, due to the variability and uncertainty of solar irradiance, several technical challenges are created to produce PV energy. To reduce these adverse effects, forecasting of energy production at multiple scales is used. In this sense, the objective of this study is to determine the forecast performance of a hybrid model through the application of a Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN), together with the application of the moving block bootstrap technique (MBB), using the real data of the production of a PV system. The results show that the FFNN method combined with MBB techniques consistently outperform the original FFNN method in terms of forecast accuracy. That is, the original model presents a performance of 4.48% percentage forecast error (MAPE), compared to 3.14% fo r the proposed hybrid model. Finally, through the Ljung-Box test it isshown that the results are not correlated; therefore, the recommended model is validated.
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.
