June 2025 - 16 articles

Cover Story: A robust PV battery model incorporating the ANFIS algorithm has been developed to effectively forecast power generation for a solar farm. The electrical model benefits from the ANFIS algorithm’s superior capability to accurately predict irradiance and temperature over other ML models (average accuracies of 98.65% and 98.18% for temperature and irradiance, respectively), providing reliable input for electrical simulations. The clear distinction between the ML prediction algorithm and the electrical model highlights the modularity and adaptability of the approach, enabling precise power forecasting and facilitating informed energy management decisions. View this paper
