Dataset for Accuracy of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Power Plant: A Novel Approach Using Hybrid Variational Mode Decomposition and CNN-LSTM Model

This research paper introduces a deep learning hybrid model employing Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) for short-term photovoltaic (PV) solar energy forecasting.The proposed method integrates the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) algo-rithm with the CNN-LSTM model to predict PV power generation from a solar farm in Boussada, Algeria, from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020. The performance of the developed model is benchmarked against other deep learning models (VMD-CNN, VMD-LSTM, CNN-LSTM) across various time horizons (15, 30, and 60 minutes) to provide a comprehensive evaluation. Our findings exhibit greater performance of the developed model compared to other architectures, showcasing promising results in solar power forecasting. This research contributes to the main goal of enhancing EMS by providing accurate solar energy forecasts.
