Short term power prediction of the photovoltaic power station based on comparison of power profile sequences using F-Score computation

Due to the annual increase in energy prices, photovoltaic power stations (PVPS) are often used as a primary source of power for smart off-grid houses. Integration of this kind of energy source is challenging because it is a source of variably generated power due to meteorological uncertainty, but the cost of this energy source rapidly decreases. In this paper, we present results of the short term prediction method of generated power for small PVPS based on self-organizing maps, previously introduced power profiles, their sequences and computing F-Score as an alternative to commonly used algorithms.
