In this work, a new hybrid model for short-term power forecasting of a grid-connected photovoltaic plant is introduced. The new model combines two well-known methods: the seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average method (SARIMA) and the support vector machines method (SVMs). An experimental database of the power produced by a small-scale 20 kWp GCPV plant is used to develop and verify the effectiveness of the proposed model in short-term forecasting. Hourly forecasts of the power produced by the plant were carried out for a few days showing a quite good accuracy. A comparative study has also been introduced showing that the developed hybrid model performs better than both the SARIMA and the SVM model.

Abstract
In this work, a new hybrid model for short-term power forecasting of a grid-connected photovoltaic plant is introduced. The new model combines two well-known methods: the seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average method (SARIMA) and the support vector machines method (SVMs). An experimental database of the power produced by a small-scale 20 kWp GCPV plant is used to develop and verify the effectiveness of the proposed model in short-term forecasting. Hourly forecasts of the power produced by the plant were carried out for a few days showing a quite good accuracy. A comparative study has also been introduced showing that the developed hybrid model performs better than both the SARIMA and the SVM model.Pubblicazioni consigliate
