چکیده
پیش‌بینی دقیق تولید انرژی خورشیدی، به دلیل ماهیت متغیر تابش خورشید، شرایط جوی پویا و عدم قطعیت‌های اقلیمی، یکی از چالش‌های اصلی در مدیریت سیستم‌های انرژی تجدیدپذیر محسوب می‌شود. در این پژوهش، یک مرور سیستماتیک جامع بر 40 مطالعه‌ی منتخب منتشرشده در بازه‌ی زمانی ۲۰۱۹ تا ۲۰۲۵ انجام شد تا کارایی مدل‌های یادگیری عمیق در پیش‌بینی تولید انرژی خورشیدی مورد بررسی قرار گیرد. تمرکز اصلی بر شبکه‌های حافظه‌ی کوتاه‌ مدتبلند مدت (LSTM) و مدل‌های ترکیبی بوده است که در سال‌های اخیر کاربرد گسترده‌ای یافته‌اند. مقایسه‌ی مدل‌ها بر اساس شاخص‌های ارزیابی خطا، شامل ریشه‌ی میانگین مربعات خطا‌‎‌‌‌ (RMSE)، میانگین قدر مطلق خطا (MAE) و میانگین درصد خطای مطلق ‍‌(MAPE)، صورت گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که مدل‌های ترکیبی در پیش‌بینی‌های کوتاه‌ مدت عملکرد بهتری داشته و خطا را تا حدود 9/2% کاهش داده‌اند، در حالی‌که مدل‌های مجهز به مکانیزم توجه در افق‌های میان‌مدت و بلند مدت دقت بیشتری ارائه کرده‌اند. علاوه بر این، استفاده از داده‌های چند منبعی، شامل اطلاعات محلی، تصاویر ماهواره‌ای و داده‌های هواشناسی، موجب بهبود دقت پیش‌بینی تا حدود 30% شده است. در نهایت، یافته‌ها بیانگر روند روبه رشد بهره‌گیری از رویکردهای چند سطحی، تلفیق داده‌های متنوع و هوشمندسازی مدل‌ها برای ارتقای قابلیت اطمینان و پایداری در مدیریت منابع انرژی خورشیدی است.

چکیده English

Accurate forecasting of solar energy generation is considered one of the main challenges in the management of renewable energy systems due to the inherent variability of solar irradiance, dynamic weather conditions, and climatic uncertainties. In this study, a comprehensive systematic review was conducted on 40 selected studies published between 2019 and 2025 to investigate the performance of deep learning models in solar power generation forecasting. The primary focus is placed on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and hybrid models, which have gained widespread application in recent years. The comparison of models was carried out based on error evaluation metrics, including Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE).
The results indicate that hybrid models exhibit superior performance in short-term forecasting, reducing prediction errors by up to approximately 2.9%, while models equipped with attention mechanisms provide higher accuracy in medium- and long-term forecasting horizons. Furthermore, the use of multi-source data, including local measurements, satellite imagery, and meteorological data, improves forecasting accuracy by up to approximately 30%. Overall, the findings reveal a growing trend toward the adoption of multi-level approaches, diverse data integration, and intelligent modeling techniques to enhance reliability and sustainability in solar energy resource management.
