The intermittent nature of renewable energy requires new methods and algorithms to address the current energy needs necessary for sustainable development. Extracting parameters with high accuracy for photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, thermoelectric generators, and other devices used to produce electricity or heat from renewable sources is very important, both for research and manufacturers, but also for short, medium, and long-term forecasting of the energy that can be produced.
The use of advanced analytical and numerical methods, as well as existing or new AI algorithms, and their hybridization leads to considerable improvement both for parameter extraction and for the forecast of generated energy.
This special issue aims to collect original research and review articles in this domain to increase visibility of the innovative methods, algorithms, and experimental results. Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:
· Metaheuristic algorithms for the extraction of the PV parameters
· Machine learning, deep learning, and others are used for PV diagnostics, reliability, and durability
· Methods and algorithms to forecast direct normal irradiance and its applications for the concentrated photovoltaic panel farms
· Solar potential estimation using empirical, parametric, and spectral models.
· AI algorithms for forecasting photovoltaic power for the short, medium, and long term
· AI algorithms for forecasting wind energy, thermal energy
· Metaheuristic algorithms for MPPT
