Single exponential smoothing approach for 5 MW solar power plant generation forecasting

In 21st century forecasting of solar power generation is an important issue due to grid integration. So solar power and conventional power are basic sources of grid integration. Solar power is playing a key role in grid integration. In this work, Solar power generation forecasting is carried out based on the data collected from a 5MW Gujarat Power Cooperation limited solar photovoltaic power plant which is installed in Charanka, Gujarat. In this paper we discussed about the single exponential smoothing for solar power forecasting problem.
