Abstract

In this work, we evaluate the capabilities of Deep Learning and Adversarial Networks to nowcast and discriminate the output power generation in photovoltaic systems. From a baseline spatiotemporal model of Convolutional Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memories, we develop a discriminator and generator based on Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks. The adversarial network develops the estimation and discrimination of erroneous output power generation. Two real-world datasets are evaluated with encouraging results that are straightforwardly related to maintenance deployment applications in photovoltaic systems.
