In the second 5 years, the power production level grew yearly from 1 January 2025 to 1 January 2029, as shown in Figure 9. At the period of this power production status, the solar plant was fully operational and in good working direction, inputting the intended amount of solar power generation into the national grid.
The results were obtained by comparing the yearly data columns through the trained model with production (MWh), POA, and PR, respectively. The graphical visualization extracted from this developed model shows that the power production of the solar plant during one year of production was increased from 510 MWh to 590 MWh, i.e., 80 MWh in a year.
This study focused on predicting a 10-year performance analysis of a large-scale solar power plant by using 1 year of real-time data from the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park (QASP) situated in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. For the purpose of prediction, the ARIMA model was developed using Python, which is one of the best tools in machine learning.
One of the primary benefits of building larger solar power plants is the lower cost per unit of energy produced. This is because larger plants can take advantage of economies of scale, which means that the cost per unit of energy produced decreases as the size of the plant increases.
In this power production result, the solar plant is fully energized and working in good condition, which inputs the target amount of solar power generation into the national grid. Given the environmental effects and technical losses, the solar plant runs efficiently and produces power based on timely O & M.
In this context, large-scale PV power plants, in particular, are rapidly expanding. At a global scale, utility-scale installations are anticipated to constitute approximately 66.7% of the worldwide capacity by the year 2050 .
