1. A system for forecasting renewable energy generation, the system comprising:
a renewable energy source;
at least one first sensor on the renewable energy source;
a processor; and
a non-transitory machine-readable medium in operable communication with the processor and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, perform the following steps:
receiving energy data on current energy generation from the at least one first sensor on the renewable energy source;
receiving weather parameters of the local weather from second sensors;
receiving image data of the sky from at least one imaging camera;
estimating future energy generation based on the energy data and the weather parameters;
estimating cloud cover based on the image data to derive a cloud shading profile;
performing a univariate regression on the weather parameters and the cloud shading profile to derive input parameters;
performing at least one parametric regression on the input parameters and the energy data and deriving a forecast of renewable energy generation of the renewable energy source; and
providing the forecast of renewable energy generation to a power system having the renewable energy source such that the power system adjusts amounts of power obtained from the renewable energy source and another energy source in operable communication with the power system, thereby optimizing use of energy generated by the renewable energy source.
