Towards Automated Model Selection for Wind Speed and Solar Irradiance Forecasting.

Given the recent increase in demand for electricity, it is necessary for renewable energy sources (RESs) to be widely integrated into power networks, with the two most commonly adopted alternatives being solar and wind power. Nonetheless, there is a significant amount of variation in wind speed and solar irradiance, on both a seasonal and a daily basis, an issue that, in turn, causes a large degree of variation in the amount of solar and wind energy produced. Therefore, RES technology integration into electricity networks is challenging.
