Forecasting Meeting Minutes for Week of October 25, 2016

Present Tuesday: Austin, Gordon, Brieanna, Jaimie

Present Wednesday:

  • Sharif will meet with us on Wednesday
  • All of this is normalized (w/ Zenith Angle)
  • X' = [X / 1 1 1 1 1 1]
  • X'.T = [X.T | 1]
  • X'*X'.T = [X*X.T | X1]
    • [1.T*X.T | m ]
  • (X'*X'.T)/m
  • Mean: X1/m
  • Correlation(R) : X*X.T/m
  • Samples along diagonal of correlation matrix should be similar
    • Like toeplitz matrix
      • Right-hand bottom corner needs to be 1
      • Number of columns (m) in array rows (n)
      • Number of times you are doing prediction
      • Estimate 9-5 (8 hours, every 5 mins, 96 solar irradiance times/day *365 days/year= 35040 solar irradiance data points/year)
      • Diagonals same and symmetrical
  • 1's on bottom are for the zenith normalized data
  • Do not need for the statistically normalized data
  • Types of Prediction:
  • Average
  • Persistence: Most recent value for prediction (tap=1)
  • Python programming help from Sharif tomorrow
  • MSE value: D-Y=E(365*96)
  • Inner product of E/entries = 2D array
  • (Sum |E|^2)^.5
  • Root Mean Squared Working this week
    • Training to use same data for RMS
    • Go down with number of taps increasing
      • Take square root of the error
      • (90,000)^.5 = 300
  • Weight for taps
    • Positive values
    • Decrease in value
  • Train on 2011 and test on 2012
  • Train on 2012 and test on 2011
  • RMS graphs for the 2011 (Test and train) and 2012 (test and train)
    • Higher on test than training
    • Can become higher though
    • More time then train based on seasons
      • Winter 2011/2012, Spring 2011/2012, Summer 2011/2012, and Fall 2011/2012
  • Interested in power solar panels will be making
