The impact of shadow covering on the rooftop solar photovoltaic system for evaluating self-sufficiency rate in the concept of nearly zero energy building

Sin-Yi Li et al.

Summary: In cities striving for energy self-sufficiency, the pursuit of nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) is a growing trend. While reducing energy consumption is challenging, replacing traditional energy sources with renewable energy shows more potential. Solar photovoltaic systems, particularly those on rooftops, are a popular method to achieve self-sufficiency. This research suggests that the impact of shadow from surrounding buildings on energy generation is generally limited, with only buildings below 3 storeys experiencing significant shadow coverage. Lower buildings, despite being affected by shadows, play a crucial role in energy generation due to their lower energy self-consumption.

Site adaptation of global horizontal irradiance from the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service for radiation using supervised machine learning techniques

Vasileios Salamalikis et al.

Summary: This study validates the reliability of Global Horizontal Irradiance from CAMS radiation service (GHICAMS) and applies supervised machine learning algorithms (MLAs) to adapt GHICAMS. The results show that GHICAMS has significant errors under different weather conditions, but performs well under clear skies. The application of various MLAs can reduce errors in adaptive irradiances, with tree-based MLAs, especially Random Forests, yielding the best results.

Comparison of physical and machine learning models for estimating solar irradiance and photovoltaic power

Raden A. A. Ramadhan et al.

Summary: This study compares the accuracies of physical and machine learning models in solar power modeling, with machine learning models generally outperforming physical models when input parameters are appropriately selected. Machine learning models significantly reduce the mean bias difference (MBD) compared to physical models, especially for global horizontal irradiance and photovoltaic power estimations. Among machine learning algorithms, long short-term memory and gated recurrent unit are recommended for solar power estimation. The physical model, however, is more efficient in reducing root mean square difference (RMSD) because it considers constant parameters as inputs.
