Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of distributed energy storage technology, and in particular to a substation output prediction device and prediction method suitable for substation microgrid autonomy. Background Art

[0002] Building a new power system with new energy as the main body is an important method and approach to achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Compared with the traditional power system, the morphology and structure of the new power system will undergo major changes. As an organic complement to large energy bases, distributed new energy will occupy an important position in the future energy system. Unlike centralized new energy, which is connected to the grid on the main grid side, distributed new energy will be connected to the grid on the distribution grid side closer to the user. The distribution network is the access carrier for distributed power sources and electric vehicle charging facilities. It is the key support for the comprehensive and efficient utilization of various distributed energy sources and energy conservation and emission reduction for power users. In this context, the digital transformation of the distribution network is imperative, and the construction of a modern smart distribution network is an important practice to support the transformation. The modern smart distribution network can be regarded as the distribution network form of the new power system. Through modern information and communication technologies such as "big cloud, things, mobile, and intelligence", artificial intelligence technology is deeply integrated with the active distribution network, and the new distribution system is empowered with digitalization, intelligence, and wisdom to achieve the development goals of a safe, reliable, economical, efficient, clean and low-carbon modern distribution network. Renewable energy power generation has the characteristics of intermittency and randomness. Large-scale grid connection has a great impact on the stability, continuity and adjustability of the power grid. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the power system, it is necessary to predict the power generation capacity of renewable energy.

[0003] At present, the power prediction system of photovoltaic stations widely used in China mainly adopts the power prediction technology based on numerical weather forecast. Numerical weather forecast is a meteorological forecasting method that uses large computers to solve the equations describing atmospheric motion with numerical analysis methods under given initial conditions and boundary conditions, and predicts the weather conditions for a period of time in the future based on the known initial state of the atmosphere. There is a close relationship between numerical weather forecast (NWP) and photovoltaic output prediction. Numerical weather forecast provides information on various weather elements including temperature, radiation, etc., which has an important impact on the power output of photovoltaic power stations. By inputting NWP data into the power prediction model, the accuracy of photovoltaic output prediction can be improved.

[0004] Specifically, the application of NWP in photovoltaic power generation prediction mainly includes the following steps:

[0005] Data assimilation: This step involves fusing real-time meteorological observations into numerical weather models to optimize the model’s initial conditions, thereby improving forecast accuracy.

[0006] Power downscaling: Since PV plants usually cover a small area, while the area simulated by NWP may cover hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, it is necessary to downscale conventional NWP data to the specific location and height of PV plants to meet the needs of refined power forecasting.

[0007] Adjustment of time resolution: PV power forecasts usually require higher time resolution (e.g. once every 15 minutes), while NWP may provide hourly data. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the time resolution through technical means to meet the needs of power forecasting.

[0008] Ensemble forecast: Due to the uncertainty of weather forecast, ensemble forecast provides the most likely weather forecast value by summarizing multiple forecast results, and gives the predicted confidence interval by calculating the discreteness of each forecast result, which helps the decision-making of power grid dispatch and power trading.

[0009] However, the traditional centralized output prediction method is not suitable for distributed photovoltaics connected to the grid on the distribution network side. This is mainly due to the scattered and disordered geographical locations of distributed photovoltaics, the low capacity of single stations, and the lack of meteorological element collection devices. Distributed photovoltaic systems are scattered in different geographical locations, and the environmental conditions (such as sunshine, temperature and shadow) of each system may be different. These differences require more fine-grained environmental data and more sophisticated prediction models for the prediction of distributed photovoltaic systems. Collecting more fine-grained environmental data requires the deployment of a large number of meteorological element collection devices, which will greatly increase the cost of the prediction system. It is also very difficult to improve the prediction precision of the model. First, the atmospheric system itself can be regarded as a chaotic system, which is naturally extremely difficult to predict. Then, it is very difficult and energy-consuming to establish and solve more sophisticated prediction models. On the one hand, the parameters in the atmospheric motion and energy transfer equations solved by numerical weather forecasting are statistical parameters on a larger time and space scale. Many factors on a fine scale, such as the movement of clouds, are still difficult to accurately predict through numerical weather forecasting. On the other hand, solving more sophisticated models will greatly increase energy consumption. Currently, numerical weather forecasts rely on large and super-large computers. More sophisticated models will greatly increase the amount of calculations and increase electricity consumption. However, the capacity of a single distributed photovoltaic station is small, and the electricity generated by a single station is relatively limited. It will be very uneconomical to equip each distributed photovoltaic power station with a power prediction service based on numerical weather forecasting technology.

[0010] In addition, the time resolution of photovoltaic output prediction technology based on numerical weather forecast is usually once every fifteen minutes, which is difficult to meet the needs of smart distribution network under the new situation. In the context of the new power system, the distribution network will be connected to a large number of new power sources and new loads. For example, people's demand for fast charging of electric vehicles is more urgent. High-power short-time charging scenarios put forward higher requirements on the time resolution of distributed photovoltaic output prediction.

[0011] In summary, traditional photovoltaic prediction methods are mainly designed for centralized photovoltaic stations in the context of traditional power systems where new energy accounts for a small proportion. The methods based on numerical weather forecasts have high calculation costs, rough time resolution, and weak perception of the impact of clouds on solar irradiance. In view of the above shortcomings, this invention provides a substation output prediction device suitable for autonomous substation microgrids, which performs more precise, higher time resolution, and low energy consumption prediction of distributed photovoltaic output connected to the new smart distribution network. Summary of the invention

[0026] A prediction method for a power output prediction device for a power station area that is applicable to a power station area microgrid autonomy.

Temperature can affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of photovoltaic power generation components and can also affect the output of photovoltaic components. Therefore, it is also necessary to correct the initial photovoltaic output forecast value based on the local meteorological factors near the photovoltaic components to generate the final photovoltaic output forecast value.
