A Method of Probability Distribution Modeling of Multi-Dimensional Conditions for Wind Power Forecast Error Based on MNSGA-II-Kmeans

Abstract

How to consider both the influence of weather and wind power in the modeling process of probability distribution of wind power forecast error (WPFE), and to emphasize the application value of conditional modeling, is rarely studied at present. This paper proposes a novel method of conditional probability distribution modeling for WPFE. This method uses a proposed MNSGA-II-Kmeans algorithm to perform multi-objective clustering of multi-dimensional influencing factors (MDIF), including weather and wind power. It can maximize the difference between the probability distributions of each MDIF mode’s WPFE while clustering, thus ensuring the application value of the conditional modeling way. Based on the clustering results, by using the versatile distribution to simulate the probability distribution of WPFE and the support vector machine to realize the recognition of MDIF modes, the specific conditional probability distribution function of WPFE can be provided to stochastic economic dispatch by identifying the forecast MDIF data. A wind plant of north China with historical data is selected for calculation. The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, and by comparison with the non-conditional probability distribution of WPFE that does not consider MDIF, it can effectively increase the wind power consumption of the power system.
