Application of Optimization Algorithm to Machine Learning Model for Solar Panel Output Power Prediction: A Review

Abstrak

Solar panels have become a popular source of renewable energy due to their sustainability and environmental friendliness. Accurate predictions of solar panel output are crucial for various applications, such as energy system optimization, power grid management, and economic planning. Many important factors pose challenges in predicting the output of solar panels, such as weather conditions that can change at any time, geographical factors, data quality, and the duration of data collection. Machine learning (ML) models show promising performance in this prediction; there are many types of machine learning models, some are single models and others are hybrid models. Optimization algorithms are used to optimize parameters and improve the prediction accuracy of machine learning models. This research reviews fifteen journals that have been filtered to obtain those discussing optimization algorithms in the predictive models of solar panel output power. This journal will examine the optimization algorithms used in machine learning models for predicting solar panel output power, discussing various types of optimization algorithms, their application in machine learning models, the prediction results from these models, the input data used, and the data collection locations that significantly influence the prediction outcomes. From the results of this research, it does not conclude which machine learning model is the best, due to the many factors that influence it. However, this research is expected to provide references on the application of machine learning models in predicting the output power of solar panels, thereby encouraging the use of renewable energy sources.
