Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medium- and long-term power generation prediction technology for new energy sources, and particularly relates to a medium- and long-term power generation prediction method and related equipment based on ERA5 reanalysis data. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of increasingly market-oriented and liberalized electricity trading, the operating mechanisms of the electricity market are becoming more complex and volatile. Electricity trading is no longer limited to traditional direct transactions between supply and demand parties or government regulation models, but is gradually shifting towards a diversified and highly competitive trading platform. On this platform, power generation companies, electricity retailers, large users, and various electricity traders can participate in electricity buying and selling through various methods such as bilateral negotiation, centralized bidding, and listing transactions. In this market environment, power generation plants, as a crucial link in electricity production, are closely related to the accuracy of their operational strategies and power generation forecasts. Medium- and long-term power generation forecasts not only concern the power plants' power generation plans and resource allocation, but also directly affect their competitiveness and profitability in the electricity trading market.

[0003] Due to frequent price fluctuations and supply-demand changes in the electricity market, power plants need to formulate reasonable medium- and long-term electricity trading declaration plans based on accurate electricity forecasts to ensure a favorable position in electricity transactions. However, electricity forecasting faces many challenges: on the one hand, electricity load is affected by various factors such as weather, holidays, and economic activities, exhibiting high uncertainty and complexity; on the other hand, for newly built or recently commissioned photovoltaic power plants and other new power generation facilities, traditional statistical forecasting methods are often ineffective due to a lack of sufficient historical data. To address these issues, before obtaining historical meteorological data for each power plant, it is generally necessary to first analyze the spatial geographical location characteristics of each plant. This involves using the latitude and longitude location information of the plant as spatial sampling points to locate the meteorological grid points where each plant is located, thereby obtaining the most relevant meteorological data. However, due to the large number of plants involved, their wide distribution, the large latitude and longitude span, and the inconsistent historical data obtained, there is a certain degree of missing measured data, which limits the accuracy of the forecast results.

[0004] It is evident that existing medium- and long-term power generation forecasting methods suffer from a certain degree of missing measured data due to the large number and wide distribution of power stations involved, the large latitude and longitude span, and the inconsistent historical data obtained.

The one or more modules / units can be a series of computer program instruction segments capable of performing preset functions, wherein the instruction segments describe the execution process of the computer program in the medium- and long-term power prediction device based on ERA5 reanalysis data.

For example, in some jurisdictions, according to legislation and patent practice, the computer-readable storage medium does not include electrical carrier signals and telecommunication signals.

[0044] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings: Example 2 As described in the background section, power load forecasting faces numerous challenges: on the one hand, power load is affected by various factors such as weather, holidays, and economic activities, exhibiting high uncertainty and complexity; on the other hand, for newly built or recently commissioned photovoltaic power plants and other new power generation facilities, traditional statistical forecasting methods often fail to be effective due to a lack of sufficient historical data. To address these issues, before obtaining historical meteorological data for each station, it is generally necessary to first analyze the spatial geographical location characteristics of each station. This involves using the latitude and longitude location information of the stations as spatial sampling points to locate the meteorological grid points where each station is situated, thereby obtaining the most relevant meteorological data. However, due to the large number and wide distribution of the stations involved, the significant latitude and longitude span, and the varying historical data obtained, there is a certain degree of missing measured data, which limits the accuracy of the forecast results.

[0045] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a medium- to long-term power generation forecasting method based on ERA5 reanalysis data. This method uses multi-year ERA5 reanalysis data to perform climate model analysis on the area where the power station is located, which can accurately capture the climatological average irradiance of the area. It also cleverly combines the historical measured data of the power station to construct an error correction model between the climatological and measured data, further improving the accuracy of the forecast.

[0046] The medium- to long-term power generation forecasting method based on ERA5 reanalysis data provided in this embodiment is based on the idea that, before obtaining historical meteorological data for each station involved, a spatial geographical location characteristic analysis of each station is first performed. This is done by using the latitude and longitude location information of the stations as spatial sampling points to locate the meteorological grid points where each station is situated, thereby obtaining the most relevant meteorological data. However, due to the large number of stations involved, their wide distribution, the large latitude and longitude span, and the inconsistencies in the obtained historical data, there is a certain degree of missing measured data. Therefore, after dividing the overall area of ​​all station distribution into grids, for stations lacking historical data, spatial sampling points are added at the center point of their respective unit grid. ERA5 historical reanalysis meteorological data is then used as an approximation of the historical measured data to proceed with the next step of analysis and judgment.

[0047] This embodiment provides a medium- to long-term power generation forecasting method based on ERA5 reanalysis data. This method deeply integrates advanced climate data analysis technology with actual power production needs, providing power market participants with a more accurate and reliable forecasting tool. The core of this method lies in utilizing years of accumulated ERA5 reanalysis data, which covers daily or hourly meteorological information worldwide, including but not limited to key parameters such as irradiance, temperature, humidity, and wind speed, providing a rich data source for power generation forecasting. The specific steps include: (1) Analysis of station spatial characteristics First, through in-depth analysis of multi-year meteorological data in the ERA5 database, detailed climate model analysis was conducted for the specific regions where each station is located. This step not only requires accurate identification of the station's geographical location but also precise subdivision of the relevant areas within the ERA5 data to ensure the data's relevance and accuracy. Subsequently, the ERA5 data from these regions were integrated, and through a complex calculation process, the climatological mean irradiance of the station's region was derived, which is one of the fundamental inputs for the prediction model.

[0048] (2) Establish historical average climate state like Figure 3 As shown, the meteorological forecast mainly starts from the global climate system that affects each station, based on ERA5 reanalysis data, and combines the station's measured data and the main common short-term climate characteristics of each season to predict whether the annual radiation is higher or lower for all the stations involved.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the first step is to analyze and calculate the multi-year climatological mean irradiance of the area where the site is located based on the climate model of multi-year ERA5 reanalysis data.

[0050] The second step is to establish an error correction model between the climate state and the measured data for the power stations that provide historical measured data. Based on this model, statistical regression correction is performed on the historical data of the same period output by the power station's climate state to obtain the preliminary medium- and long-term power generation forecast results. For power stations that do not have historical measured data, the average results of the historical climate state are used as the basis for medium- and long-term power generation forecasts.

[0051] In other words, to overcome the limitations of traditional forecasting methods for newly built or short-term operational sites, this step innovatively constructs an error correction model between climatological and measured data. This model first ensures the consistency of historical measured data and ERA5 irradiance data in terms of time scale and data points. Through precise matching, it calculates the error between the climatological mean irradiance and the measured data. Based on these error analyses, a linear regression model was chosen as the core algorithm for error correction because it can effectively capture the linear relationship between data and is easy to implement and calculate.

[0052] During the prediction phase, historical data on the climatological output of the field stations were collected. This data included both climatological mean irradiance and measured irradiance, providing rich material for the model input. To improve prediction accuracy, these historical data were normalized to eliminate the influence of different units and numerical ranges on model performance.

[0053] (3) Correction of electricity prediction results based on climate factor analysis Step 1: Analysis of the impact of multiple climatic factors on radiation Climate change assessments play a crucial role in analyzing the evolution and impacts of regional climate resources and meteorological disasters. As the butterfly effect theory suggests, "a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest of South America can, two weeks later, cause a tornado in Texas." In the complex models of meteorological systems, errors can grow exponentially, meaning that even a small error can have enormous consequences over time. Therefore, the longer the forecast period, the more important it is to consider the impacts of climate processes.

[0054] Therefore, when considering the impact of changes in meteorological elements in other regions of the world on their own region, the concept of "climate factors" is used to distinguish different types of climate change processes.

[0055] The second step is to revise the prediction model based on climate factors. In this embodiment, a multi-model prediction scheme is established based on short-term climate prediction (C3S) and historical climate factor datasets, using machine learning models to model the main climate factors affecting the affected area and regional meteorological anomalies. Climate states primarily represent historical average patterns, but changes in climate factors occurring during the same historical period often take effect after a certain time lag. Introducing research on the impact of climate factors effectively optimizes the capture of future meteorological anomaly trends.

[0056] In other words, in this embodiment, considering the significant impact of climate factors on power generation forecasting, a climate factor correction step is further introduced. This step first collects medium- and long-term power generation forecasts and their corresponding climate factors, and then inputs this information into a pre-built climate factor correction model. This correction model is trained based on historical climate factors and short-term climate forecast datasets, and can dynamically adjust the forecast results to reflect the potential impacts of future climate change.

[0057] In addition, to obtain more accurate medium- and long-term electricity forecast results, this embodiment also includes the following steps: (4) Time series-based prediction of power curtailment at power plants Besides incorporating future weather forecasts to optimize medium- and long-term power generation prediction methods, factors such as power rationing also affect the final actual power generation. Therefore, for areas with severe power rationing, it is crucial to focus on methods for identifying abnormal power rationing data. Semi-supervised learning is a machine learning technique suitable for situations where some data is labeled and some is unlabeled. It not only significantly reduces manual labeling work but also makes full use of the data, resulting in higher accuracy. Furthermore, by introducing active learning and abnormal data identification and reconstruction techniques, the most informative or representative samples are selected for priority labeling. For unlabeled data, active learning techniques are used to label key and difficult-to-identify abnormal power rationing data. The labeling task for less important and easier-to-identify abnormal power rationing data is addressed using data filtering techniques.

[0058] Using the aforementioned labeled data, further machine learning algorithms are used to model the historical power rationing periods of the power station. Based on the project's own operational characteristics and the absorption characteristics of surrounding nodes, combined with multiple internationally leading meteorological forecast sources and self-developed meteorological forecasts, the power rationing periods and degrees of the power station are predicted, enabling medium- and long-term power rationing predictions for the power station and contributing to more accurate medium- and long-term power generation forecasts.

[0059] In summary, this invention provides a medium- to long-term power generation forecasting method based on ERA5 reanalysis data, which has the following advantages compared to existing medium- to long-term power generation forecasting methods: This method integrates and utilizes multi-year ERA5 reanalysis data to conduct precise climate model analysis of the power station's location, thereby deriving the corresponding climatological mean irradiance for the region. Furthermore, by combining historical measured data from the power station, an error correction model between the climatological and measured data is constructed, significantly improving the accuracy of the forecast. During the forecasting process, historical data from the same period output by the power station's climatological data are input into this error correction model, enabling the output of high-precision medium- and long-term power generation forecasts. In addition, this method includes normalization processing of historical data from the same period and climate factor correction of the medium- and long-term power generation forecasts, further enhancing the reliability and adaptability of the forecast results. This method not only improves the accuracy of power generation forecasts but also provides power market participants with a more scientific basis for decision-making, helping them to gain a favorable position in power trading and reduce economic losses caused by inaccurate power generation forecasts.

[0060] The above embodiments are merely one of the implementation methods for achieving the technical solution of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but also includes any variations, substitutions and other implementation methods that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention.
