[0044] Embodiment

[0045] (1), sunny weather, photovoltaic power generation power curve similar to the bell-shaped curve, photovoltaic power generation power highest time often appears at noon, the solar elevation angle (solar light and the horizon angle) maximum, the atmospheric path of equal solar radiation is the shortest, the least affected by the atmosphere, the solar radiation reaching the ground is the most. At the same time, due to the maximum solar elevation angle, the area of equal solar radiation is the smallest, and the solar radiation per unit area on the ground is the most, so the noon solar radiation is the strongest. The start and end time of the photovoltaic power generation power curve is related to the sunrise time and sunset time, and the sunrise time and sunset time change with the season.

[0046] (2), in practical application, the photovoltaic power generation power curve is not an analog signal. The analog signal is continuous in time and continuous in amplitude. The photovoltaic power generation power curve is often a digital signal that is discrete in time and discrete in amplitude due to the intermittent collection time and the intermittent transmission and reception signal time. In this prediction research method, since the weather type Wt needs to be determined according to the weather forecast for t time in the complex weather duration T, the time interval between t and t+1 is set to 15 minutes.

[0047] (3), under sunny weather, the meta-heuristic learning algorithm based on neural network is used for photovoltaic power prediction; under complex weather, the regional photovoltaic power generation power ultra-short-term prediction research method based on Monte Carlo algorithm is switched to for photovoltaic power prediction. Referring to Table 1, the definition of complex weather is defined, that is, when and how to start the Monte Carlo algorithm for photovoltaic power prediction. When the weather forecast in the prediction area reaches the level of moderate rain and above, such as heavy rain, snow, short-time thunderstorm gale and other strong convective weather, the Monte Carlo algorithm can be started.

[0048] Table 1: Definition of weather type of meteorological system

[0049]

[0050] (4), according to the weather forecast, the initial time of extreme weather in the unit area is determined, the photovoltaic power generation power prediction power model in the unit area is established, and the complex weather duration T in the unit area is determined; the photovoltaic power generation power Pt in the unit area under ideal weather conditions at a certain time t in the T period is determined, which can be obtained from the bell-shaped curve of photovoltaic power generation power under sunny weather.

[0051] (5), confirm the weather type Wt at time t in the T period in the unit area, confirm the influence St of the weather type Wt at time t on the total solar radiation on the ground, and according to the weather forecast of the unit area every 15 minutes, the change of solar radiation intensity in the unit area can be well grasped, mainly the low-altitude thick cloud will have a more obvious influence on the solar radiation intensity, the rapid movement of this cloud system will cause the photovoltaic power generation power curve to fluctuate greatly, such asFigure 3 The number of Monte Carlo cycle simulations is set to M, as shown by the substantial fluctuation of real-time power.

[0052] (6) Determine the impact of weather type at time t on the shading of solar photovoltaic cell components of the photovoltaic power station on the output of the solar cell components E1t, mainly precipitation and snow shading, according to the weather type Wt, E1t is directly proportional to Pt.

[0053] (7) Determine the power temperature coefficient change E2t caused by the weather type at time t on the characteristics of the solar photovoltaic cell components of the photovoltaic power station, according to the weather type Wt, in the range of 20-100℃, the voltage of each cell decreases by 2mV for every 1℃ increase; while the current increases slightly with temperature, in general, the power of the solar cell decreases with temperature, the typical power temperature coefficient is -0.35% / ℃, that is, the power decreases by 0.35% for every 1℃ increase in cell temperature.

[0054] (8) Determine the impact of humidity changes caused by the weather type at time t on the power generation of the photovoltaic power station E3t, according to the weather type Wt, E3t is directly negatively related to Pt.

[0055] (9) Determine the impact of destructive factors caused by the weather type at time t on the power attenuation of the solar photovoltaic cell components of the photovoltaic power station E4t, according to the weather type Wt, E4t is directly proportional to Pt.

[0056] (10) Determine the impact of planned grid connection and routine maintenance on the output of the photovoltaic power station Mt, which is directly subtracted from Pt.

[0057] (11) Repeat steps (5) to (10) to obtain the photovoltaic power station power Pt at time t in the unit area complex weather duration T;

[0058] (12) Let t = t + 1, repeat steps (4) to (11), superimpose the unit area photovoltaic power station power prediction curve for a total of T, and obtain the photovoltaic power station power prediction curve graph in the unit area complex weather duration T.

[0059] (13), the superposition of the power prediction curves of all unit areas S1, S2, S3… in the region can obtain the power prediction curve of the photovoltaic power station in the region in a certain complex weather duration T. Since the region contains multiple unit areas, when some unit areas are in complex weather and other unit areas are in sunny weather, the Monte Carlo algorithm is still applicable, that is, the weather type has no effect on the shading of the solar photovoltaic cell components of the photovoltaic power station, and the weather type has no destructive effect on the power attenuation of the solar photovoltaic cell components of the photovoltaic power station.

[0060] (14), the unit area is in complex weather (strong wind, cooling and rain) all day, so the complex weather duration T covers the whole day; since the Monte Carlo algorithm is based on 15-minute interval unit area weather forecast, it can accurately grasp the fluctuation of low-altitude thick clouds on solar radiation intensity in the short term, so it can more accurately predict the effect of weather type Wt on the total amount of solar radiation on the ground St in the short term; in the medium and long term, it is impossible to predict the change of low-altitude thick clouds in the unit area according to the existing meteorological system technical conditions, so the medium and long term St cannot be accurately predicted, that is, the more accurate power fluctuation curve of the photovoltaic power station cannot be predicted, E1t, E2t, E3t and E4t can be more accurately predicted according to the 15-minute interval weather forecast; the accuracy calculation formula is (YCt is the predicted power, SJt is the actual power, and PT is the installed capacity of the photovoltaic power station), and the accuracy of the neural network algorithm and the Monte Carlo algorithm can be obtained.

[0061] As Figure 5 , the accuracy of each t time is calculated, that is It can be seen that the accuracy of the neural network algorithm and the Monte Carlo algorithm at different times is compared, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two different algorithms in short-term, medium-term and long-term power prediction are compared. The Monte Carlo algorithm can accurately predict the power change curve fluctuation of the photovoltaic power station affected by the weather type Wt in the short term. In the medium and long term, since it is impossible to predict the change of low-altitude thick clouds in the unit area of the meteorological system, the Monte Carlo algorithm cannot make the power change curve of the photovoltaic power station, but it can make the minute shape curve diagram according to the accurate unit area short time interval weather forecast.

[0062] (15), refer to the attached Figure 6, under the Monte Carlo algorithm, the photovoltaic power station power Pt in the T period at time t is a fixed value under ideal weather conditions, the influence Mt of the planned grid connection and routine maintenance on the output of the photovoltaic power station is also a fixed value, the weather type Wt has an influence St on the total amount of solar radiation on the ground within the range (i, j), that is, the variable St(i, j). Similarly, E1t, E2t, E3t and E4t are also range values, that is, the variable E1t(i, j), the variable E2t(i, j), the variable E3t(i, j) and the variable E4t(i, j) are also range values. When the Monte Carlo cycle M is 1, a set of data St(i1, j1), E1t(i1, j1), E2t(i1, j1), E3t(i1, j1) and E4t(i1, j1) is obtained; when the Monte Carlo cycle M is m, a set of data St(im, jm), E1t(im, jm), E2t(im, jm), E3t(im, jm) and E4t(im, jm) is obtained; until the data St(iM, jM), E1t(iM, jM), E2t(iM, jM), E3t(iM, jM) and E4t(iM, jM) are obtained. The sum of St(i, j), E1t(i, j), E2t(i, j), E3t(i, j) and E4t(i, j) is called Ut(i, j), that is, Ut(i, j) = St(i, j) + E1t(i, j) + E2t(i, j) + E3t(i, j) + E4t(i, j), all Ut(i, j) are counted, and the highest probability U t is selected as the value calculated by the Monte Carlo algorithm, that is, the sum of the five variables of the weather type Wt at time t, the influence St of the total amount of solar radiation on the ground, the influence E1t of the shading of the photovoltaic solar cell module of the photovoltaic power station on the output of the solar cell module, the power temperature coefficient change E2t caused by the characteristics of the photovoltaic solar cell module of the photovoltaic power station, the influence E3t of humidity change on the power generation of the photovoltaic power station, and the attenuation influence E4t of the destructive factors on the power of the photovoltaic solar cell module of the photovoltaic power station. The larger M is, the more accurate Ut is. The Monte Carlo algorithm obtains the unit area photovoltaic power station power at time t as Pt-Ut-Mt.
