Purpose: The extensive adoption of wind and solar energy into the contemporary power systems has enhanced the relevance of precise and dependable forecasting of the generation. Such variability, nonlinearity, and uncertainty of renewable resources are a major challenge to conventional forecasting methods, which encourages the use of the modern data-driven methods. The purpose of this review is to be a resource to those researchers and practitioners interested in advancing the renewable energy forecasting methods.
Materials and Methods: Deep-learning models have shown great potential in learning complex temporal and spatial patterns in renewable energy data in recent years, but independent deep-learning methods typically have drawbacks including noise sensitivity, overfitting, and lack of interpretability. In a bid to ensure these problems are solved, hybrid deep-learning forecasting models have come up as a promising solution to these problems because they combine deep learning with signal decomposition, machine learning, fuzzy systems, optimization algorithms, and physical knowledge. The review is a coherent and topical analysis of hybrid deep-learning models of the forecasting of wind and solar power generation. It talks about fundamental knowledge of forecasting, popular deep-learning designs and significant strategies of hybridization such as decomposition-based, machine learning, deep learning, fuzzy models and optimization models. Applications to wind and solar forecasting are examined in more detail, including deterministic, probabilistic and spatial forecasting applications. A comparative dialogue points out performance traits, computation concepts, and resource-specific modelling behaviour.
Findings: Lastly, the main issues, areas of research interest and the future research directions are established so as to assist in coming up with more vigorous, interpretable and operationally feasible hybrid forecasting models.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The review is a coherent and topical analysis of hybrid deep-learning models of the forecasting of wind and solar power generation.
