Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to renewable energy power generation and smart grid technology, and in particular to an offshore wind power probability prediction method based on composite quantile regression. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional thermal power generation, wind power is clean, renewable and sustainable. As an environmentally friendly form of electricity, wind power has relatively low operation and maintenance costs and power generation costs, occupies less land, has flexible development scale, and has good large-scale development conditions and commercial development prospects. At present, wind power technology has become one of the most recognized, fastest-growing and most mature renewable energy power generation technologies.

[0003] Under the "dual carbon" goal, wind power has become the core path for low-carbon or even zero-carbon energy transformation in many countries, including China. my country has sufficient offshore wind energy resources, with an available sea area of ​​more than 3 million square kilometers. In the future, with technological progress and the decline in the cost of electricity, there is huge room for the development of offshore wind power. Compared with the instability of onshore wind power, offshore wind power has obvious advantages over onshore wind power. On the one hand, offshore wind power does not occupy onshore resources; on the other hand, in the same geographical location, the effective power generation hours of offshore wind turbines are 20% to 70% higher than those of onshore wind turbines.

[0004] Although wind energy has high development value due to its significant advantages such as renewable, pollution-free and low cost, it is difficult to achieve efficient, economical and safe use. The size of traditional thermal power generation depends entirely on fuel input. Its output power can be quickly and effectively controlled within a large range according to the dispatching instructions of the power system to cope with real-time changes in load. However, the output of wind power has strong randomness and uncontrollability. The output of wind power cannot be controlled at will, and it changes according to different time periods, meteorological conditions, etc. As the proportion of wind power installed capacity in the power system increases, the challenges brought by wind power grid connection to the power system are mainly due to its variability and uncertainty. In view of the uncertainty of wind power output, studying wind power probability prediction technology is an important solution.

[0005] At present, probability interval prediction mainly adopts probability interval prediction based on parameterized model. The construction of prediction interval is based on two parts: point prediction and uncertainty analysis. After the point prediction is completed, it is assumed that the wind power prediction error satisfies a certain distribution, such as beta distribution, normal distribution, etc., and then the prediction error is calculated according to the pre-assumed distribution, and the point prediction value is added to form the calculation of the upper and lower limits of the interval. However, the actual wind power fluctuates greatly and is highly complex, so it is difficult to determine the actual error distribution.

[0006] Non-parametric modeling is an effective method to solve the above problems, among which the most efficient and widely used method is the quantile regression model. Therefore, the probability interval prediction method based on the quantile regression model is also increasingly valued by technical personnel. The traditional linear quantile regression method is often used for regression analysis and prediction in statistical regression analysis. In order to improve the traditional quantile regression model, the extreme learning machine model is currently used to improve the quantile regression method and improve the linear model to a nonlinear model. The comprehensive performance evaluation index of the prediction interval is the comprehensive score of the prediction interval, which comprehensively considers the reliability and sensitivity of the prediction interval. However, the traditional quantile regression model only considers the reliability optimization of the prediction interval and lacks attention to sensitivity. Therefore, it is of great significance to introduce the sensitivity optimization strategy into the quantile regression model to improve the performance of the prediction interval. Summary of the invention

[0054] The present invention provides a method for probabilistic forecasting of offshore wind power based on composite quantile regression, which can be applied to other ranges and fields such as load, wind power / photovoltaic output, etc.

[0055] The prediction model flow chart of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the steps of the embodiment are mainly as follows:

[0056] (1) Processing the data, i.e. initializing the coefficients from the input layer to the hidden layer and the threshold of the hidden layer of the extreme learning machine model, predicting the rated confidence interval, importing the normalized historical wind power time series, and constructing the sample;

[0060] The step 1 specifically includes two sub-steps: model parameter initialization and data preprocessing and importing. The specific method of model parameter initialization is:

[0061] Step 1.11: Initialize the hidden layer coefficients and thresholds of the extreme learning machine;

[0062] Step 1.12: Set the upper and lower quantile values ​​of the quantile regression model based on the confidence interval.

[0072] Among them, α is the confidence level, and is the transition variable, λ is the adjustment coefficient, and the cost function is optimized based on the linear programming method;

[0073] Step 2.3: The above cost function satisfies the following constraints:

[0074]

[0075] 0≤g(x t ,w α )≤1

[0076] -|β α,j |≤w α,j ≤|β α,j |

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] Among them, y t is the measured value.

[0080] The step 3 specifically balances the weights of reliability and sensitivity in the composite indicator by adjusting the coefficient, adjusting the prediction interval performance, and optimizing the adjustment coefficient according to the training set prediction interval performance. The specific method is:

[0081] Step 3.1: Complete the optimization of the composite quantile regression model according to the adjustment coefficient value and calculate the prediction interval of the training set;

[0082] Step 3.2: Calculate the reliability of the prediction interval as follows:

[0092] Step 4.2: Import the input of the test sample and calculate the prediction interval based on the trained model.

[0093] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention and verify the effectiveness of the method of the present invention, the actual wind farm power is used as an example for detailed introduction. The composite quantile regression model (CQR) of the present invention is compared with the existing methods, including the extreme learning machine model (BELM) based on the bootstrap sampling method, the quantile regression model (QR), and the linear quantile regression model (LQR).

[0094] The power time series of an offshore wind farm in my country is used to verify the ultra-short-term probability interval prediction performance of the model. The data resolution is 15 minutes, and the probability prediction of wind power is carried out one hour ahead. The data uses the 15-day wind power time series from the four seasons of 2019. Each set of case tests takes 15 days of data, the first 11 days of data are used for training, and the last 4 days of data are used for testing.

[0095] The performance of interval prediction is generally evaluated by observing two indicators, the average coverage deviation (ACE) and the score. The calculation method of ACE is as follows:

[0096] |ACE|=|PICP-PINC|

[0097] Among them, PICP is the actual interval coverage, PINC is the rated confidence, and the closer the ACE value is to 0, the better.

[0098] When the coverage deviation is close to 0, the interval width should be as narrow as possible. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0099]

[0100] in, is the width of the i-th predicted value under the interval confidence interval α. The average interval width (AW) indicates the sensitivity of the prediction interval. and are the upper and lower boundaries of the interval corresponding to the i samples respectively.

[0101] The interval comprehensive score takes into account two factors: interval coverage deviation and interval width. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] It is the comprehensive score of the interval, and the value is a negative number. The closer the value is to 0, the better the comprehensive performance of the prediction interval. For the indicators to evaluate the prediction interval, the comprehensive score of the interval is mainly considered. The average coverage deviation is generally used to refer to the coverage performance of the interval, that is, the coverage needs to be close to the rated confidence level to prove that the prediction interval has good reliability.

[0105] Figure 2 The relationship between different regulation coefficients and prediction interval performance of the wind power training set data for 15 days in mid-January. The numerical relationship between the prediction interval comprehensive score (Intervalscore), coverage (PICP) and regulation coefficient (Regulation coefficient) is shown in the figure. In the figure, the confidence level is 90%, the prediction scale is 1 hour ahead, and the resolution of the regulation coefficient is 0.01. As shown in the figure, when λ=0.06, the prediction interval performance is optimal. Based on this training result, the quantile regression model is used as a reference, including LQR and QR, and the performance comparison is shown in Table 1.

[0106] Table 1 January data test results

[0107]

[0108] The comparison of prediction interval performance is shown in Table 1. The CQR proposed in the present invention has the best comprehensive prediction interval performance, optimal sensitivity and good reliability, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed model.

[0109] Table 2 Test results of four seasons data

[0110]

[0111] Table 2 shows the comparison of the method proposed in this invention with several classic methods. The 15-day data sets used are from April, July, October and January 2019, respectively, to test the performance of the prediction model in different seasons. The comprehensive performance is the decisive indicator for evaluating the prediction interval, and the accuracy of interval coverage is combined to comprehensively compare the results of probability prediction. The test results of the data of each month under different confidence levels show that the prediction interval obtained by the method of this invention has the best performance.

[0112] Figures 3 to 6The prediction results of the four seasons with a confidence interval of 90% and one hour ahead are shown, and the data is used after normalization. It can be seen that the time series of wind power is complex and it is difficult for parametric modeling to accurately estimate the distribution of errors and accurately give a prediction interval. It can be seen from the figure that the interval constructed by the method of the present invention has a good prediction effect. In summary, the present invention can achieve high-quality ultra-short-term prediction intervals for wind power and can be used in practical engineering applications.
