Photovoltaic generation data, for 3 years, regarding the 2022-3 Competition on solar generation forecasting

These data were released under the 2022-3 Competition on solar generation forecasting.

Please check our competitions: www.gecad.isep.ipp.pt/smartgridcompetitions

The data set comprises the power generated by photovoltaic panels and data collected from a near weather station.  The data was collected in 5 minutes periods. Data comprises:

Hour

Starting minute (inclusive)   

Ending minute (exclusive)    

Generated power (kW)

Temperature (ºC)          

Dewpoint (ºC)

Pressure (hPa)    

Wind Direction (Degrees)

Wind Speed (KM/h)

Wind Speed Gust (KM/h)

Humidity (%)

Hourly Precipitation (mm)

Daily rain (mm)

Solar Radiation (Watts/m2)

The data set represents raw data without any treatment, this means that it is possible to find errors. Data can have missing data or missing reading periods, and a fixed zero (0) value, indicating a failure in the system readings.
