In recent years, the share of solar power in total energy production has gained a rapid increase. Therefore, prediction of solar power production has become increasingly important for energy regulations. In this study we proposed an ensemble method which gives competitive prediction performance for solar power production. This method firstly decomposes the nonlinear power production data into components with a multi-scale decomposition technique such as Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). These components are then enriched with the explanatory exogenous feature set. Finally, each component is separately modeled by nonlinear machine learning methods and their results are aggregated as final prediction. We use two different training approaches such as Hour-based and Day-based, for predicting the power production at each hour in a day. Experimental results show that our ensemble method with Hour-based approach outperform the examined machine learning methods.

Solar Power Generation Analysis and Forecasting Real-World Data Using LSTM and Autoregressive CNN tosun, nail; sert, egemen; Ayaz, Enes; YILMAZ, ekin; GÖL, MURAT (2020-09-22) Generated power of a solar panel is volatile and susceptible to environmental conditions. In this study, we have analyzed variables affecting the generated power of a 17.5 kW real-world solar power plant with respect to five independent variables over the generated power: irradiance, time of measurement, panel's temperature, ambient temperature and cloudiness of the weather at the time of measurement. After our analysis, we have trained three different models to predict intra-day solar power forecasts of th...
Thermal bridge detailing in tunnel form buildings with passive house principles Yılmaz, Derya; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2014) As a result of depleting fossil fuels, increased energy prices and global warming, the growing importance of energy efficiency given birth to spread construction of energy saving buildings and use of new technologies around the world. Since thermal bridges in buildings may cause excessive heat loss, mold growth and deterioration of indoor air quality; to eliminate thermal bridges becomes very crucial both in existing buildings and in energy efficient buildings. In this thesis, energy demand of a six storey ...
Data Mining-Based Upscaling Approach for Regional Wind Power Forecasting: Regional Statistical Hybrid Wind Power Forecast Technique (RegionalSHWIP) Ozkan, Mehmet Baris; Karagöz, Pınar (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-01-01) With the increasing need for the energy, the importance of renewable energy sources has also been increasing. In order to include the power produced by the wind into electricity grid in a controlled manner, power prediction has an important role. To produce a reliable wind power forecast, obtaining Wind Power Plants' (WPP) power generation data in real time and constructing the power forecast model with historical production values is a desirable action plan. However, this situation may not be applicable fo...
Clustering River Basins Using Time-Series Data Mining on Hydroelectric Energy Generation. Arslan, Yusuf; Kucuk, Dilek; Eren, Sinan; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur (2018-09-14) Hydropower is a significant renewable energy type with a considerable share in energy generation worldwide. As with the other common means of energy generation, hydropower is critical for the reliability and quality of electricity supply. Maintaining the reliability and quality of supply enables meeting the electricity demand of the loads adequately and efficient use of the energy resources, in addition to decreasing the related financial and environmental losses. In this paper, we target at the problem of ...
Data mining-based power generation forecast at wind power plants Özkan, Mehmet Barış; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) As a result of rapid depletion of non-renewable energy resources, the importance of the e efficient utilization of renewable energy sources has increased all over the world and in our country in recent years. Wind has an important role in renewable energy sources with its high potential. However, compared to other renewable energy sources, wind has a spatial and temporal discontinuity characteristic so there is a need for estimating and planning of wind power generation. Wind Power Plants (WPPs) inform thei...
