description Regardless of their nature of stochasticity and uncertain nature, wind and solar resources are the most abundant energy resources used in the development of microgrid systems. In microgrid systems and distribution networks, the uncertain nature of both solar and wind resources results in power quality and system stability issues. The randomization behavior of solar and wind energy resources is controlled through the precise development of a power prediction model. Fuzzy-based solar PV and wind prediction models may more efficiently manage this randomness and uncertain character. However, this method has several drawbacks, it has limited performance when the volumes of wind and solar resources historical data are huge in size and it has also many membership functions of the fuzzy input and output variables as well as multiple fuzzy rules available. The hybrid Fuzzy-PSO intelligent prediction approach improves the fuzzy system's limitations and hence increases the prediction model's performance. The Fuzzy-PSO hybrid forecast model is developed using MATLAB programming of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the help of the global optimization toolbox. In this paper, an error correction factor (ECF) is considered a new fuzzy input variable. It depends on the validation and forecasted data values of both wind and solar prediction models to improve the accuracy of the prediction model. The impact of ECF is observed in fuzzy, Fuzzy-PSO, and Fuzzy-GA wind and solar PV power forecasting models. The hybrid Fuzzy-PSO prediction model of wind and solar power generation has a high degree of accuracy compared to the Fuzzy and Fuzzy-GA forecasting models.The rest of this paper is organized as: Section II is about the analysis of solar and wind resources row data. The Fuzzy-PSO prediction model problem formulation is covered in Section III. Section IV, is about the results and discussion of the study. Section V contains the conclusion. The references and abbreviations are presented at the end of the paper.
