Preprocessing Techniques of Solar Irradiation Data
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Chiranjeevi, M.; Karlamangal, S.; Moger, T.; Jena, D.; Agarwal, A.
Solar energy being abundant, non-exhaustive, environmentally friendly attracts the people attention towards the alternate renewable energy. High-quality time series data is essential for producing an accurate estimate of solar power generation. In most cases, the plethora of information hidden in time series data cannot be accessed. Common issues with time series include outliers, noise, missing data, and a lack of order in the timestamps itself that impair forecasting accuracy. So, preprocessing of the input data is a mandate in order to achieve a precise and dependable forecast. This study proposes various pre-processing techniques to improve the performance of the forecasting accuracy. The different ways to handle the missing values and outliers detection by sliding window method and box plots are presented in this study. The solar irradiation data collected from solar center Alice Springs, Australia used for validation of the preprocessing results. The efficacy of the proposed method in detecting the missing values and outliers is effective from the obtained results. Â© 2023 IEEE.
