Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of distributed photovoltaic power short-term prediction method based on improved similar time method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The increasingly tense situation of world energy and environment brings the problem such as the contradiction between power supply and demand, so the development and utilization of traditional energy are more limited. In recent years, with the large-scale construction of new energy stations in China, the scale of distributed power grid connection is getting larger and larger, in order to realize the accurate scheduling of power grid, the power department needs to master the output data of new energy station in real time on the one hand, and needs to predict the power generation on the other hand.

[0003] Distributed photovoltaic power station usually refers to the use of dispersed resources, small-scale installation, arranged in user area near power generation system. Photovoltaic output is closely related to irradiance, and is also affected by short-term weather changes such as cloud cover and precipitation, which has strong intermittency and randomness, which has a great influence on power system planning and power supply quality, and this influence will become more and more prominent with the increase of photovoltaic grid connection capacity. Therefore, in the face of high proportion of distributed photovoltaic access to power grid, accurate prediction of short-term power generation of distributed photovoltaic has great significance for power grid operation and dispatching.

[0004] For the prediction of photovoltaic power output, the current prediction types can be divided into two categories: direct prediction and indirect prediction. The former estimates temperature, radiation and other environmental factors first, and then uses them as input of the model and estimates photovoltaic power output by combining certain algorithm. The latter directly uses historical photovoltaic output data as input of the prediction model, which has the advantage of relatively low cost, without the need to install a large number of equipment for environmental monitoring in advance, but its disadvantage is that it needs a large amount of historical data to support. Therefore, the similar day method is currently used for data preprocessing in the field of short-term prediction, which is a relatively simple and feasible method. This method uses meteorological characteristics to select similar days as model input for prediction, which greatly reduces the amount of historical data required. The existing similar day method mainly studies the overall similarity between historical sample days and the day to be measured, that is, the maximum, mean and variance of the influencing factors are calculated by selecting part of the data of the day, and the parameters obtained by weighting are used as characteristic values representing the overall situation of the historical day. It does not analyze the influence degree difference of different types of factors on the output situation at different times of the historical day, which is difficult to improve the pertinence and accuracy of the prediction.

[0005] The similar time prediction method is mainly used in short-term prediction field by analyzing the meteorological factors and photovoltaic power output value of the effective output time of historical days and studying the output difference of different time periods. The current similar time method mainly establishes a prediction model for two types of distributed photovoltaic power stations: ① The newly-built power station with less historical data often uses multiple methods for comprehensive analysis, that is, the historical data is directly used as the prediction value according to the fluctuation degree of photovoltaic output or the prediction is carried out by using artificial intelligence algorithm ② The conventional power station with more historical data selects a large number of influence factors and output data and then inputs the model for prediction. The former has the problems of long model training time, poor accuracy and adaptability and the like due to the elimination of heterogeneous data and the input of a large amount of redundant information into the model. The latter improves the prediction effect by reducing the dimension through correlation analysis of the data, but the weight of each meteorological factor is not determined in the similarity analysis. In the two cases, each type of meteorological factor and photovoltaic output value is input into the model as the main influence factor, the screening is not strong due to the lack of concise screening index, the number of similar time is insufficient or the correlation is weak, thereby affecting the prediction accuracy. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a distributed photovoltaic power short-term prediction method based on improved similar time method, (1) The correlation degree parameter and simple correlation coefficient of each type of influence factor in the three-dimensional factors of meteorology, load and time are linearly weighted to obtain the comprehensive influence correlation degree of the effective output time of the historical day, which provides a new idea for the weight determination of the influence factor and provides a concise screening index for the selection of similar time.

[0031] (2.3) Calculation of correlation degree

[0032] 1) According to the principle of "near large and far small" of time, the correlation degree is measured, that is, the farther the distance from the predicted day, the smaller the correlation, and vice versa; according to formula (4), the time correlation degree b i is linearly depicted:

[0033]

[0034] In the formula, i represents the i-th day before the predicted day, and b i represents the time correlation degree of the i-th day;

[0035] 2) The difference between the average currents at any two times is used to measure the correlation degree of the output at the two times, and the larger the difference, the smaller the correlation, and vice versa; according to formula (5), the average current correlation degree d ij between the i-th day before the predicted day and the same time j of the predicted day is calculated:

[0036]

[0037] 3) The TOPSIS method is used to define the optimal meteorological factor T Y and the worst meteorological factor T C, two types of reference meteorological factors are calculated according to formula (6) and (7):
