Abstrakt: The growing of the photovoltaic (PV) panel's installation in the world and the intermittent nature of the climate conditions highlights the importance of power forecasting for smart grid integration. This work aims to study and implement existing Deep Learning (DL) methods used for PV power and electrical load forecasting. We then developed a novel hybrid model made of Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO). In this work, electrical load forecasting is long-term and will consider smart meter data, socio-economic and demographic data. PV power generation forecasting is long-term by considering climatic data such as solar irradiance, temperature and humidity. Moreover, we implemented these deep learning methods on two datasets, the first one is made of electrical consumption data collected from smart meters installed at consumers in Douala. The second one is made of climate data collected at the climate management center in Douala. The performances of the models are evaluated using different error metrics such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and regression (R). The proposed hybrid model gives a RMSE, MAE and R of 1.15, 0.75 and 0.999 respectively. The results obtained show that the novel deep learning model is effective in the both electrical load prediction and PV power forecasting and outperforms other models such as FFNN, Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Decision Tree (DT), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost).
