Abstract

Prediction of solar irradiance is crucial for photovoltaic energy generation, as it helps mitigate intermittencies caused by atmospheric fluctuations such as clouds, wind, and temperature. Numerous studies have applied machine learning and deep learning techniques from artificial intelligence to address this challenge. Based on the recently proposed Hybrid Prediction Method (HPM), this paper presents an original and comprehensive dataset with nine attributes extracted from all-sky images developed using image processing techniques. This dataset and analysis of its attributes offer new avenues for research into solar irradiance forecasting. To ensure reproducibility, the data processing workflow and the standardized dataset have been meticulously detailed and made available to the scientific community to promote further research into prediction methods for photovoltaic energy generation.
