In this paper, we propose an on-device artificial intelligence model for inverter control that integrates net power forecasting with time-series neural networks. Two novel forecasting methods were proposed and introduced: Prediction-to-Prediction (P–P) and Net-Power Prediction (N–P). . In self-consumption PV systems, surplus generation exceeding local demand often leads to a reverse power flow. There is no guarantee that behavior of DERs will be common amongst device types or even amongst vendors. This complicates control philosophies and can lead to unintended and unmodelled instabilities in the. . Abstract—Protection of microgrid has become challenging due to the hosting of various actors such as distributed generation, energy storage systems, information and communication tech-nologies, etc.
