This study proposes an innovative dust accumulation prediction model for photovoltaic (PV) modules through the integration of an improved dung beetle optimization algorithm (IDBO) with a hybrid neural network architecture combining a bidirectional temporal convolutional network (BiTCN)
a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM)
and self-attention (SA). The developed model achieves accurate prediction of PV module transmittance
subsequently enabling dust density estimation through established transmittance-dust density correlation formulas. The architecture strategically employs BiTCN for local feature extraction
the IDBO algorithm is implemented for hyperparameter optimization to maximize model performance. To validate the approach
we establish an IoT-based data acquisition platform that collects comprehensive PV module transmittance data and associated environmental parameters
forming a robust dataset for model training and evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate superior performance metrics with root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0126
mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.007
and prediction accuracy reaching 96.26%
significantly outperforming benchmark algorithms. This advancement enables more precise dust accumulation forecasting.
