A Review on Solar Energy: Statistical and AI-based Solar Irradiance Forecasting

We must consider the excessive usage of fossil fuels and their disastrous effects on the environment in light of the current electricity crisis. This means that in order to promote sustainable development, renewable resources must be adopted. The integration of such sporadic renewable energy sources into the current grid increased its capacity but also created problems for the stability of the power system. This research offers a realistic solution to these issues using a novel technological idea known as “solar irradiance forecasting,” which improves the stability of the system and offers better profile enhancement for the same. This paper reviewed the articles on statistical and AI-based solar irradiance forecasting in order to provide classifications for employees based on the situation.
