Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid deployment of large-scale photovoltaic power plants, the uncertainty and volatility of their output have placed higher demands on grid dispatch and operation safety. Photovoltaic power prediction is increasingly important as a key support for improving the controllability of new energy and the resilience of system operation. Accurate power prediction is very important for the dispatch and operation of distribution networks with high proportion of distributed photovoltaic penetration in the future and for the local consumption of distributed photovoltaic. Although photovoltaic prediction technology has made significant progress in recent years, it can be divided into model-based prediction methods and data-based prediction methods. However, it still faces many bottlenecks in practical applications, mainly in the following aspects: (1) The output of photovoltaic power is greatly affected by weather factors (such as cloud cover, temperature, wind speed, etc.), especially in local areas. The accuracy of weather change prediction directly affects the accuracy of photovoltaic power prediction. Existing weather data has problems such as low spatiotemporal resolution and delay in supporting photovoltaic power prediction, and cannot effectively provide high-precision short-term photovoltaic power prediction. (2) Photovoltaic power is affected by both spatial and temporal factors. Especially in the case of large-scale photovoltaic power plant layout, the modeling of spatial dependence is crucial.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0064] This application provides a method for predicting photovoltaic power using a multi-level observation station collaborative method based on satellite internet, referring to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the multi-level observation station collaborative photovoltaic power prediction method based on satellite internet in this application.

[0065] In this embodiment, the multi-level observation station collaborative photovoltaic power prediction method based on satellite internet includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S10: Construct a multi-level observation station collaborative network, including the target photovoltaic power station, large photovoltaic power stations, and micro observation stations deployed around the target power station.

[0067] It should be noted that the terminology explained in this embodiment includes:

[0068] Multi-level observation stations: The multi-level observation stations mentioned in this case include the large photovoltaic power stations (large stations) that have already been deployed and the micro observation stations (small stations) proposed in this case.

[0069] Miniature weather stations: Deployed at different directions and distances around the target site, equipped with photovoltaic modules, environmental sensors, and satellite communication modules. The photovoltaic modules collect irradiance data, the environmental sensors monitor local meteorological parameters in real time, and the satellite communication modules ensure data is transmitted back to the data center via low-Earth orbit satellites, providing integrated energy-communication capabilities. Leveraging high-frequency data acquisition capabilities and small-volume data transmission characteristics, miniature weather stations reflect local meteorological changes in real time, improving forecast accuracy under complex weather conditions.

[0070] XGBoost: XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) is a highly efficient gradient boosting tree algorithm widely used for processing structured data, especially in regression and classification tasks. It improves prediction accuracy by integrating multiple weak classifiers. In this invention, XGBoost is used for long-term trend prediction of photovoltaic power, fusing multi-source NWP data to provide high-quality irradiance predictions, helping the model predict the photovoltaic power trend for the next 24 hours.

[0071] TCN (Temporal Convolutional Network) is a deep learning model for processing sequential data. Based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, it excels at capturing temporal features in long-term sequences. In this invention, TCN is combined with a multi-head attention mechanism for short-term fluctuation prediction, capturing power fluctuations caused by rapid weather changes and improving the accuracy of short-term photovoltaic power prediction. Furthermore, in this invention, TCN is also used to fuse and correct trend prediction and fluctuation prediction results, achieving collaborative prediction across multiple time scales.

[0072] In practice, a multi-level observation station collaborative network is constructed, including the target photovoltaic power station, existing large photovoltaic power stations in the region, and newly added micro observation stations. Observation stations at all levels collect photovoltaic power and meteorological data in real time.

[0073] The three types of stations in this embodiment specifically include:

[0074] 1) Target photovoltaic power station (target station): Located in the core area of ​​photovoltaic power generation, it provides real-time photovoltaic power data and historical trend data, provides benchmark data for prediction models, and supports the accuracy of power prediction for the whole network.

[0075] 2) Large-scale photovoltaic power stations (large stations): cover a large area, provide regional trend baselines, supplement target station data, and enhance regional forecasting capabilities.

[0076] 3) Micro-observation Stations (Small Stations): These micro-observation stations are equipped with photovoltaic modules, environmental sensors, and satellite communication modules, enabling data transmission via low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Deployed at different directions and distances around the target site, the photovoltaic modules collect irradiance data, the environmental sensors monitor local meteorological parameters in real time, and the satellite communication modules ensure data transmission back to the data center via LEO satellites, providing integrated "energy-communication" capabilities. Leveraging their high-frequency data acquisition capabilities and small-volume data transmission characteristics, these micro-observation stations reflect local meteorological changes in real time, improving forecast accuracy under complex weather conditions.

[0077] When distributing micro-monitoring stations, the possibility of local weather changes must be considered to ensure coverage of potential monitoring blind spots of the target stations. Through a reasonable station layout, micro-observatories can respond quickly to factors such as cloud movement and local temperature fluctuations, adjust their data output in real time, and improve the overall accuracy of photovoltaic power prediction.

[0078] A collaborative observation network is constructed, with each station collecting photovoltaic power data, meteorological data (such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed), and numerical weather prediction (NWP) data in real time, according to the actual data collection frequency of each level of observation station (generally once every 15 minutes). The data collection cycle is reasonably configured based on the type and function of the observation station to ensure the continuity and real-time nature of data collection.

[0079] Step S20: Real-time acquisition of photovoltaic power data, meteorological data, and remote sensing cloud image data from target photovoltaic power plants, large photovoltaic power plants, and micro observation stations.

[0080] Step S30: Select the data transmission method according to the terrestrial network coverage, wherein the transmission method includes: terrestrial communication network and satellite Internet.

[0081] In specific implementation, the selection of data transmission method based on terrestrial network coverage includes: transmitting data back through terrestrial communication networks in areas with terrestrial network coverage, including fiber optic, 4G, and 5G communication networks; and transmitting data back to the data center via low-orbit satellite through satellite communication modules in areas without terrestrial network coverage.

[0082] It should be noted that in areas with terrestrial network coverage, stations at all levels utilize existing communication methods (fiber optic, 4G / 5G) to transmit observation data back to the data center. In areas without terrestrial network coverage but where critical data can be obtained, micro-observation stations are prioritized for deployment to improve the accuracy of photovoltaic forecasts at target sites. Especially when information gain is high, utilizing satellite internet for data collaboration and real-time data transmission can significantly improve forecast performance and ensure high reliability and low latency of observation data transmission under extreme weather conditions. Figure 3 As shown;

[0083] In areas with terrestrial network coverage, target photovoltaic (PV) power stations and large-scale PV power stations transmit collected PV power data, meteorological data, remote sensing cloud image data, and other monitoring data to the data center via fiber optic or 4G / 5G communication networks. These communication methods offer high bandwidth and low latency, enabling stable transmission of large-scale data. Miniature observation stations in these areas establish communication links with both the target stations and the data center via 4G / 5G networks, ensuring real-time and efficient data transmission.

[0084] In areas without terrestrial network coverage, such as remote regions, mountainous areas, or high-altitude areas, terrestrial communication networks cannot support stable data transmission. In these areas, miniature observation stations establish connections with low-Earth orbit satellites via satellite communication modules, ensuring that various meteorological and photovoltaic power data can be transmitted back to the data center in real time. The low latency and high reliability provided by the satellite link ensure that data transmission remains efficient and accurate even under extreme weather conditions such as unstable weather and cloud cover.

[0085] Step S40: Calculate the spatiotemporal correlation between observation stations at all levels and the target station based on the spatiotemporal correlation model. The spatiotemporal correlation includes historical power correlation and cloud map evolution trend correlation.

[0086] In specific implementation, the step of calculating the spatiotemporal correlation between observation stations at all levels and the target station based on the spatiotemporal correlation model includes:

[0087] Calculation of large-scale photovoltaic power plants Spatiotemporal relevance to target station o:

[0088]

[0089] Computational micro-observation station Spatiotemporal relevance to target station o:

[0090]

[0091] in, Indicates large-scale photovoltaic power station Correlation with historical power of the target station Indicates large-scale photovoltaic power station Correlation between the cloud map evolution and the target station o Indicates a miniature observation station Correlation with the historical power of the target station o.

[0092] It should be noted that the correlation of historical power reflects the correlation between the historical power data of the observation station and the historical power data of the target station, taking into account both temporal continuity and spatial influence. The calculation of historical power correlation includes:

[0093] For any historical power correlation between observation station i and target station o Calculated using the Pearson correlation coefficient:

[0094]

[0095] in, and Let be the power data of the i-th observation station and the target station o at time t, respectively. and are the mean values ​​of the power data of the i-th observation station and the target station o, respectively.

[0096] Understandably, considering that existing large-scale photovoltaic power stations can all acquire remote sensing cloud image data, the correlation of cloud image evolution trends between the target station and the observation station is included in the spatiotemporal correlation calculation to reflect the impact of clouds on the irradiance of the target station. The calculation of cloud image evolution trend correlation includes:

[0097] For large-scale photovoltaic power plants The correlation between the cloud map evolution and the target station o is expressed as:

[0098]

[0099] in, and They represent the i-th large-scale photovoltaic power station. The cloud map feature data of the target station o at time t. and They represent the i-th large-scale photovoltaic power station. The mean of cloud map feature data of target station o within the historical time window.

[0100] Step S50: Dynamically allocate information gain weights for each level of observation station based on the spatiotemporal correlation.

[0101] In specific implementation, the step of dynamically allocating the information gain weights of each level of observation station based on the spatiotemporal correlation includes:

[0102] The contribution of spatiotemporal correlation to the overall network prediction accuracy is normalized and calculated, defining the role of each large-scale photovoltaic power station. and miniature observation stations The information gains are respectively , :

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] Where m and n are the total number of large-scale photovoltaic power plants and micro-observation stations in the selected area, respectively. Indicates large-scale photovoltaic power station The spatiotemporal relevance of the target station o This represents the spatiotemporal correlation between the micro-observation station Mj and the target station o.

[0106] Step S60: Based on the information gain weight, determine the site with the highest correlation and output the photovoltaic power prediction result through the dual time scale prediction model.

[0107] In specific implementation, before the step of determining the most relevant site based on the information gain weight and outputting the photovoltaic power prediction result through the dual-timescale prediction model, the method further includes: constructing a dual-timescale photovoltaic power prediction model system; in the dual-timescale photovoltaic power prediction model system, using the XGBoost model to fuse multi-source NWP data for long-term trend prediction, and using the TCN model combined with a multi-head attention mechanism for short-term fluctuation prediction.

[0108] In practical implementation, a dual-timescale photovoltaic power prediction model system is constructed, consisting of long-term trend prediction and short-term fluctuation prediction. Trend prediction focuses on the long-term evolution trend of photovoltaic power, while fluctuation prediction focuses on rapid fluctuations in photovoltaic power, especially short-term fluctuations caused by weather changes, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0109] Long-term trend prediction uses fused multi-source NWP data and photovoltaic system parameters for physical modeling, outputting photovoltaic power prediction results for the next 24 hours; short-term fluctuation prediction uses a deep learning-based model to capture the impact of rapidly changing meteorological factors on photovoltaic power fluctuations, achieving high-precision predictions at the minute and second levels.

[0110] For long-term photovoltaic (PV) trend prediction, observational data from large PV power plants located at relatively far distances from the target site, which have high spatiotemporal correlation gain, are utilized. The power data from these plants can provide regional trend references, helping to predict future long-term PV power changes.

[0111] Specifically, XGboost is used to fuse multi-source NWP data (such as HRRR, RAP, NDFD, GFS, and NAM) to obtain timely and accurate meteorological inputs, such as... Figure 5 As shown. Let the training sample set be... ,in This represents the multi-source NWP meteorological characteristics of the i-th sample. This represents the corresponding target irradiance or power value. The prediction value of XGboost in the t-th iteration is:

[0112]

[0113] in For learning rate, To add a new regression tree for the t-th tree, This represents the function space of the regression tree.

[0114] The objective function of XGBoost is in the following form:

[0115]

[0116] in, For loss functions (such as mean squared error), regularization term Defined as:

[0117]

[0118] In the formula, T represents the number of leaf nodes in the tree. Let be the weight of the j-th leaf node. and This is the regularization coefficient.

[0119] To improve training efficiency, XGBoost performs a second-order Taylor expansion of the loss function and introduces the first and second derivatives for each sample:

[0120]

[0121] The approximate objective function becomes:

[0122]

[0123] XGBoost, as a high-efficiency data fusion module, models the nonlinear correlations in multi-source NWP data and outputs unified, high-quality irradiance prediction results. These predictions, along with system parameters (including module type, installation tilt and azimuth angles, tracking method, inverter parameters, etc.), are then input into the photovoltaic physical model to complete the irradiance-to-power conversion process, ultimately outputting the photovoltaic power output trend.

[0124] For short-term photovoltaic power fluctuation prediction, data from large photovoltaic power plants and micro-observation stations with high spatiotemporal correlation gain and close proximity to the target station are mainly utilized. Micro-observation stations provide high-frequency meteorological data, while large photovoltaic power plants in close proximity can reflect changes in photovoltaic power within a local area. Combining the two helps to more accurately capture the impact of rapid weather changes on photovoltaic power.

[0125] Specifically, the observation dataset is first processed by imputing missing values, removing outliers, aligning time series, and normalizing.

[0126] The processed meteorological sequence is divided into time periods in the form of sliding windows, forming fixed-length input tensors that serve as training samples for the Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN). Each sample contains multidimensional meteorological features from multiple spatial nodes, which are used as model input; the actual power values ​​of the target stations at the corresponding time points are used as supervision targets.

[0127] A basic TCN network is constructed using a multi-layer causal convolutional structure with residual connections, and trained using the target power value as the regression objective. The model effectively models long-term dependencies by dilating convolutions while preserving temporal order. The TCN mainly consists of stacked causal convolutions and dilated convolutions, such as... Figure 6 As shown. Let the input sequence be... The corresponding output is Then the output of the one-dimensional causal convolution at time t is:

[0128]

[0129] Where k is the convolution size, Let be the weight of the i-th convolutional kernel. To further expand the receptive field and avoid excessively deep network stacking, TCN introduces a dilation factor d-fold convolution mechanism, namely dilated convolution, whose expression is as follows:

[0130]

[0131] Where d is the expansion coefficient, which increases with the depth of the network (e.g., d=2l, l is the layer number), which can achieve an exponential expansion of the receptive field, thereby capturing long-distance dependent features such as solar radiation fluctuations and cloud movement in photovoltaic power output.

[0132] By using temporal convolutional grids, hourly and minute-level prediction results can be fused and corrected, enabling multi-scale collaborative prediction from trend evolution to local disturbances, thereby improving the model's response to sudden weather changes and overall prediction accuracy.

[0133] In its specific implementation, this embodiment also includes the following steps:

[0134] During the training phase, each deep learning network is divided into training and testing sets to evaluate model prediction performance. In the data preparation phase, all historical power data, cloud imagery data, high-frequency meteorological data, and multi-source NWP data are integrated to ensure data integrity and consistency. All data undergoes preprocessing through temporal and spatial alignment to ensure accurate matching of observations at each time point and spatial location. The preprocessed data is then input into the deep learning model for training. The XGBoost model is used for trend prediction, capturing the temporal relationships between different NWP data sources and generating high-quality irradiance predictions, which are further used in the irradiance-power conversion of the photovoltaic physics model. Simultaneously, a temporal convolutional network is used to train a fluctuation prediction model to capture short-term power fluctuations caused by meteorological factors.

[0135] During model training, cross-validation was used to evaluate the model's predictive performance, and mean squared error (MSE) and other evaluation metrics were used to quantify the model's performance in trend and volatility prediction. Hyperparameters were optimized and adjusted for different parts of the model to improve the prediction accuracy and generalization ability of each module.

[0136] After training, the model is validated using a test set to ensure its applicability and reliability in real-world data.

[0137] Step S70: Dynamically adjust the data weights of the observation stations based on the prediction error feedback to optimize the prediction accuracy.

[0138] In practical implementation, an adaptive weight adjustment process based on prediction error feedback is designed. By monitoring the prediction error of the target station in real time, the data weights of observation stations at all levels are dynamically adjusted to optimize prediction accuracy. In particular, the multi-directional distribution characteristics of micro-observation stations can enhance the response to local meteorological changes and further improve prediction performance.

[0139] The system monitors the prediction error of the target station in real time to determine the difference between the predicted result and the actual power output. If the prediction error exceeds a set threshold, the system will activate an error feedback mechanism to dynamically adjust the data weights of each level of observation station based on the current prediction error. The data weights of micro-observation stations and large photovoltaic power plants will be adjusted according to their contribution to the prediction accuracy of the target station. In particular, during periods of large power fluctuations, the weight of micro-observation stations will be increased because they are more sensitive to rapid changes in local weather.

[0140] By combining real-time error and historical feedback mechanisms, the data center can gradually optimize the weights of each observation station and improve the model's adaptability under different meteorological conditions.

[0141] In practical implementation, the simulation results of the multi-level observation station collaborative photovoltaic power prediction method based on satellite internet in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0142] This embodiment establishes a multi-level collaborative observation network, including target photovoltaic (PV) power plants, large-scale PV power plants, and micro-observation stations, and optimizes the data utilization of each station based on spatiotemporal correlation. Unlike existing prediction methods that rely heavily on single-station data, this embodiment effectively utilizes the spatiotemporal characteristics of multiple observation stations within a large-scale PV power plant layout, improving prediction accuracy and stability. By fusing data from different types of stations, this embodiment can more accurately reflect local meteorological changes and reduce errors in both short-term and long-term prediction tasks. [Prediction Method Based on Multi-Level Collaborative Observation Network]

[0143] Compared to existing technologies that use meteorological data with low spatiotemporal resolution and high latency, this embodiment utilizes remote sensing cloud images and multi-source NWP data (such as HRRR, RAP, NDFD, GFS, etc.) to fuse the data through deep learning methods. This improvement enhances the timeliness and accuracy of meteorological input, enabling short-term photovoltaic power forecasts to more accurately reflect local meteorological changes. Especially under the influence of factors such as cloud evolution and temperature changes, this embodiment can provide higher-precision forecasts, avoiding the problem of insufficient weather data to support accurate short-term forecasts in existing methods. [Fusion of High-Resolution Remote Sensing Cloud Images and Multi-Source Meteorological Data]

[0144] This embodiment constructs a dual-timescale prediction model to perform trend prediction on a long timescale and fluctuation prediction on a short timescale. In existing technologies, prediction models typically focus only on one timescale, neglecting the potential for multi-timescale collaborative prediction. This embodiment, by fusing long-term trend prediction and short-term fluctuation prediction, can handle more complex meteorological changes, enhances the model's response to sudden meteorological changes, and optimizes the accuracy of photovoltaic power prediction under different meteorological conditions. [Construction of the Long-Term and Short-Term Collaborative Prediction Model]

[0145] In existing technologies, prediction models typically use fixed data weights from observation stations, failing to adjust their contributions based on real-time prediction errors. This embodiment designs an adaptive weight adjustment process based on prediction error feedback to monitor the prediction error of the target station in real time and dynamically adjust the data weights of each observation station. Especially when errors are large, the weights of micro-observation stations and large photovoltaic power plants are optimized based on their contribution to prediction accuracy, enhancing the model's adaptability to rapid weather changes and improving prediction accuracy.
