- Medium
Description
The framework defines a clear, repeatable process to measure forecast quality.
Data Preparation
- Filter and validate measured solar irradiance data.
- Group results by weather conditions and seasons for consistent analysis.
Metric Computation
- Calculate traditional error metrics (RMSE, MAE, Bias) for general accuracy.
- Compute TDM to assess time alignment between forecasts and observations.
- Compute the Ramp Metric to evaluate how precisely short-term irradiance variations are reproduced.
- Visualize results using radar plots for a multi-dimensional comparison.
