“…There are several approaches to forecast the solar radiation such as persistence methods that assume that the value at time + 1 is equal to value at time [8], autoregressive models that allow modeling stationary and non-stationary variations and describing complex nonlinear atmospheric phenomena [7], e.g., autoregressive moving average (ARMA), and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA); and soft computing techniques, e.g., support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), and fuzzy and genetic algorithms (GA) [9]. The ANN, fuzzy logic, and hybrids are robust for modeling the physical processes' stochastic nature, like the solar irradiance because of their capacity to compensate systematic errors and problematic learnable deviation [10,11].…”
