A Performance Evaluation of Transformer, LSTM, and ARIMA Models for LoadForecastinginIndia'sRenewable-RichSmart Grid
Abstract: India is trying to use renewable energy such as solar and wind to produce extreme and unpredictable fluctuations within India's National Smart Grid. These extreme fluctuations create difficulties for traditional load forecasting methods, including Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models, to provide stable and efficient operation through the creation of accurate short-term load forecasts. To accomplish this, the research aims to develop high-quality predictive models by comparing three modelling methods: …

An approach for Intelligent detection of dirty PV panels using image processing with YOLOv8
Abstract: The efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is greatly affected by the condition of panel surfaces, as dust buildup and other impurities can noticeably reduce power output. Traditional maintenance methods rely largely on manual inspection, which can be subjective, inconsistent, and impractical for large-scale installations. To address these challenges, this work investigates a deep learning-based computer vision approach for the automatic assessment of solar panel cleanliness. In this work, a …

Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Metal Halide Perovskite Solar Cells: A Comprehensive Review of Materials, Device Architectures, Stability, Hysteresis, and Commercialization Challenges
Abstract: Hybrid organic–inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a major focus of photovoltaic research due to their remarkable increase in power conversion efficiency, reaching 28% within a short period. Perovskite materials exhibit several attractive properties, including long charge-carrier diffusion lengths, tunable band gaps, and excellent light absorption capability. In addition, their low-cost fabrication processes combined with high efficiency make PSCs strong competitors to conventional silicon-based solar cells. …
