Solar-Irradiance

With the spirit of reproducible research, this repository contains all the codes required to produce the results in the manuscript:

M. Jain, N. Jain, N. Sinha and S. Dev, Identifying Relevant Meteorological Variables For Estimating Solar Irradiance In Ireland. (under review)

Executive summary

In this paper, We try to find and analyze the essential featuresr required for forecasting solar irradiance in Dublin, Ireland with the help of feature selection methods, namely, filter methods, wrapper-based methods and Embedded based method.

Environment

This project was tested on python 3.8 using a Windows 10 environment.
