[PDF Version]The section concentrates in the solar side of the plant and not in the more conventional part. The main controls of solar plants can be classified in Sun tracking and control of the thermal variables.
Intelligent control as a more advanced technology has been integrated into the PV system to improve system control performance and stability. However, intelligent control for the PV system is still in the early stages due to the extensive calculation and intricate implementation of intelligent algorithms.
The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) is crucial for improving the energy generation of PV systems under various climatic circumstances, as conventional controllers do not effectively optimize the energy output of solar systems. Nevertheless, the performance of PV systems can be influenced by fluctuations in meteorological conditions.
From a control point there are different control levels; a) the control of the movement of the solar collectors (sun tracking), b) the control of the thermal process variables, c) the plant wide control aspects and d) the grid integration.
Instead of complex rules and mathematical routines, AI techniques are able to learn the key information patterns within a multidimensional information domain. Design, control, and operation of solar energy systems require long-term series of meteorological data such as solar radiation, temperature, or wind data.
The energy management of PV systems is an important issue when studying renewable energy. One of the methods to control this process is by using an ANN. ANN-based controllers are gaining popularity due to their ability to adapt to different scenarios and enhance energy conversion efficiency.

Rooftop photovoltaic energy systems are globally recognized as crucial elements for the implementation of renewable energy in buildings, as they act as generators within the framework of smart cities.
In this paper, we present an assessment method for the PV power generation potential of rooftop in China. Using machine learning model processes the big data that consists of the gross domestic product, building footprint, road length and population, at a high geographic resolution of 10 km by 10 km.
Rooftop photovoltaic system plays an important role in solar energy power generation especially in urban. In this paper, we present an assessment method for the PV power generation potential of rooftop in China.
It has entered a rapid development stage (Li and Huang, 2020, Anon, 2022a). There are 676 rooftop solar photovoltaic (RTSPV) pilot projects in 31 provinces in China in 2021 (Anon, 2021a). Rooftop solar photovoltaics use building roof resources to design distributed photovoltaic power stations (Tripathy et al., 2016).
The research results of this paper can roughly provide suggestions for the rooftop distributed photovoltaic development strategy in China, and help decision makers analyze photovoltaic potential and CO2mitigation ability. Funding
The research underscores the significant role of rooftop PV in achieving China's energy and climate goals in its northwestern urban centers. In China, more than 75% of electricity is still generated using "dirty" coal, resulting in substantial emissions of NO x, CO 2, and SO 2 into the environment.
The conclusion is that the national rooftop distributed photovoltaic development potential is 2597.64 GW and the power generation potential is 3265.41 TWh/year. Tianzhi Qiu et al. use SSR radiation data with a resolution of 10 km * 10 km, and the power generation factor (kWh/ m2) is calculated by combining with temperature data (Qiu et al., 2022).
