Original abstract

The AI-Based Solar Power Generation Forecasting and Performance Optimization System is designed to improve the efficiency, reliability, and productivity of solar energy systems using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Solar power generation depends on environmental factors such as sunlight intensity, temperature, weather conditions, and cloud cover, which make power output difficult to predict accurately. This project uses AI and machine learning techniques to analyze real-time and historical data collected from sensors, including voltage, current, temperature, and light intensity sensors The rapid growth of renewable energy sources has increased the importance of accurate solar power forecasting and efficient performance optimization in photovoltaic (PV) systems. This project presents an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Solar Power Generation Forecasting and Performance Optimization System designed to improve energy prediction accuracy, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs. The proposed system utilizes machine learning and deep learning algorithms to analyze historical weather conditions, solar irradiance, temperature, humidity, and panel output data for predicting future solar power generation. The forecasting module applies AI techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and regression models to provide short-term and long-term energy predictions with high precision. These predictions help grid operators and energy managers make better decisions regarding energy distribution and load balancing. In addition, the performance optimization module continuously monitors photovoltaic panel parameters and identifies efficiency losses caused by dust accumulation, shading, panel degradation, or environmental variations. The system also incorporates intelligent fault detection and predictive maintenance features that alert users about abnormal conditions before major failures occur. By integrating Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and cloud-based analytics, real-time monitoring and remote management of solar plants become possible. The proposed AI-based solution improves overall power generation efficiency, reliability, and sustainability while minimizing operational downtime.
