Solar Radiation Ramping Events Modeling Using Spatio-temporal Point Processes

Modeling and predicting solar events, particularly the solar ramping event, is critical for improving situational awareness for solar power generation systems. It has been acknowledged that weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, and cloud density can significantly impact the emergence and position of solar ramping events. As a result, modeling these events with complex spatio-temporal correlations is highly challenging. To tackle the question, we adopt a novel spatio-temporal categorical point process model, which intuitively and effectively addresses correlation and interaction among ramping events. We demonstrate the interpretability and predictive power of our model on extensive real-data experiments.
