Abstract

The growing reliance on renewable energy has intensified the need for accurate solar power forecasting to support efficient grid operation and energy planning. However, reliable prediction remains challenging due to the strong dependence of solar power output on dynamic meteorological conditions. This study proposes a data-driven machine learning (ML) framework for high-precision solar power prediction across several major Indian metro cities. Using hourly weather and power generation data for the year 2023, a random forest regressor was developed to model complex non linear relationships between environmental variables and solar energy output. The proposed model achieved exceptional predictive performance, with an R² score of 0.9999 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.15 kW, significantly outperforming conventional regression approaches. Feature contribution analysis revealed solar radiation as the dominant factor influencing power generation, while cloud cover and elevated temperatures exhibited negative effects. The key contribution of this work lies in demonstrating the robustness and generalizability of ensemble learning for urban-scale solar forecasting under diverse climatic conditions. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, grid operators, and energy planners to optimize solar integration and resource management.

Abstract

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks continues to pose serious risks to modern networks, with their growing intensity making early detection both critical and challenging. Conventional machine learning (ML) models often struggle with the nonlinear and highly dynamic nature of attack traffic, which motivates the use of advanced architectures. In this study investigate a transformer-based classifier for DDoS detection on the CIC-DDoS2019 dataset. The workflow included preprocessing, feature scaling, and domain-guided feature selection. Logistic regression (LR) was employed as a baseline, achieving 92.1% accuracy and F1-score of 0.90, thereby revealing the limitations of linear models. The transformer, after hyperparameter tuning and 5-fold cross-validation, reached an average accuracy of 99.95% with precision, recall, and F1-scores all above 99.9%. The model demonstrated stable convergence and generalization across folds. These results highlight the strength of attention mechanisms in capturing feature dependencies, while also pointing to future directions such as real-time deployment, explainability, and resilience to zero-day attacks.
