Global horizontal irradiance forecasting code and data
Description
This dataset contains the code, data and results obtained by forecasting the GHI using a deep neural network. There are four main folders in the project: code, data, models and logdir. Data This folder contains all the data used from the two studied locations: UJI (latitude=39.99º, longitude=-0.06º) and La Celle (latitude=40.4º, longitude=6.0º). Sorted by year, month and day, each location has three kinds of data: • The files named as just a number are 151x151 irradiance estimates matrices centered in the same location obtained from http://msgcpp.knmi.nl. • The files named Real_ are the irradiance measurements at the location • The files named CopernicusClear_ are the clear sky estimates from the CAMS McClear model Each file contains the 96 15-minute samples for the same day in Matlab format and UTC time. Code All the python scripts used to train the neural networks and perform the forecasts. The main files are: • tf1.yml: List of the modules and versions used. A clean Anaconda environment created from this file can run all the code in the project. • learnRadiation.py: The script to train a new model. Changing the variables “paper_model_name” and “location”. The first variable selects the kind of model to fit and the second one the training location. • predictOnly.py: Loads a trained model and performs the forecast. Notice that the model and location must match the ones used to train the model stored in the “training_path” folder Models This folder contains all the trained models and their forecasting results. There is also a training folder to contain the last trained model. Logdir This folder stores Tensorboard files during training
