What is the Hybrid Neural-Sigmoid Model (HNSM)?
Combines mathematical S-curve fitting with neural network capacity factor prediction. G = K × CF × 8760/1000.
Key Takeaway
HNSM uses K_pred from sigmoid, CF from NN; G_pred = K × CF × 8.76.
Detailed Explanation
The Hybrid Neural-Sigmoid Model (HNSM) combines explicit mathematical S-curve with neural CF prediction:
**(1) Capacity equation (logistic S-curve):**
Parameters: K_max (saturation capacity, GW), α (growth rate), t₀ (inflection year). Fitted via nonlinear optimization.
**(2) Generation equation (physical):**
where K (GW), CF ∈ [0,1], 8.76 = hours/year ÷ 1000.
**(3) Neural component** — CF predicted by NN; K from sigmoid. Test R²: 0.9131 (capacity), 0.7446 (generation). Dual model with ENSM for robustness.
Why It Matters
Research significance: Alternative hybrid; validates physical equation approach.
Energy policy relevance: Forecast robustness.
Methodological contribution: S-curve + NN hybrid.
