Prediction of Power Outages in Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems Using Supervised Learning

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) combining photovoltaic generation, battery storage, and backup sources are increasingly used in microgrids and remote installations. Despite improved sustainability, these systems remain vulnerable to short-term supply interruptions caused by irradiance variability, load changes, battery depletion, or backup unavailability. Conventional threshold-based alarms often fail to capture the multi-factor nature of outage formation, motivating data-driven prediction approaches. This paper presents an IoT-based monitoring and supervised learning framework for near-term outage-risk prediction in HRES. An Arduino-based edge device collects key electrical measurements and transmits time-stamped telemetry to a cloud platform via GSM/GPRS. Using a power-balance perspective, features are engineered to represent system adequacy, including irradiance conditions, battery state-of-charge (SoC), depletion trends, and backup availability. Horizon-based labeling is applied so that samples are marked as outage-risk when a failure occurs within a defined future window, enabling early warning rather than post-event detection. Three supervised classifiers-logistic regression, decision tree, and random forest-are trained and evaluated on a synthetic one-year dataset sampled at five-minute intervals. Performance is assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC metrics. Results show that tree-based models, especially random forests, provide stronger recall and risk ranking performance, enabling earlier detection of outage-prone conditions. The proposed approach demonstrates that combining IoT telemetry with probabilistic prediction can support proactive actions such as generator start, load shedding, and maintenance planning, while providing a practical foundation for future validation using real operational data.
