Solar Forecasting and Smart Photovoltaic Systems
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar PV is gaining importance and presence in the energy mix with an increasing penetration today and foreseen in the near future. Solar forecasting (either irradiance or PV power) is of great significance in gird management and storage system operation. PV power modeling and forecasting is thus a topic of high interest, with noticeable contributions and developments so far. However, the growth rate of PV systems and the broad variety of configurations and applications (large PV plants, floating PV, agro-PV, BIPV and distributed PV power, and so on) foster the need to go further in modeling and forecasting capabilities. It is a pleasure to invite the research community to submit review or regular research papers on, but not limited to, the following relevant topics related to “Solar Forecasting and Smart Photovoltaic Systems”:
- Deterministic forecast;
- Probabilistic forecast;
- Digital twins in PV;
- Smart grids in cities;
- Grid management in near 100% renewable systems;
- PV power modeling;
- PV power forecasting;
- Solar irradiance forecasting;
- BIPV;
- PV in urban environments;
- Floating PV;
- Agro-PV;
- Machine learning in PV;
- Firm PV power forecast;
- Off-grid PV systems;
- Flexibility market with very high renewables.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
