Abstract
Deep learning is used to train a neural network for end-to-end prediction of short term (e.g., 20 minutes or less) solar irradiation based on camera images and metadata. The architecture of the neural network includes a recurrent network for temporal considerations. The images and metadata are input at different locations in the neural network. The resulting machine-learned neural network predicts solar irradiation based on camera images and metadata so that a solar plant and back-up power source may be controlled to minimize output power variation.
