Popis: New trends of Machine learning models are able to nowcast power generation overtaking the formulation-based standards. In this work, the capabilities of deep learning to predict energy generation over three different areas and deployments in the world are discussed. To this end, transfer learning from deep learning models to nowcast output power generation in photovoltaic systems is analyzed. First, data from three photovoltaic systems in different regions of Spain, Italy and India are unified under a common segmentation stage. Next, pretrained and non-pretrained models are evaluated in the same and different regions to analyze the transfer of knowledge between different deployments and areas. The use of pretrained models provides encouraging results which can be optimized with rearward learning of local data, providing more accurate models.
