With the increasing proportion of photovoltaic power generation, solar power prediction systems have become more important. Accurate photovoltaic power prediction can assist the grid dispatch department in formulating effective power scheduling plans, improving grid stability and the capacity to accommodate solar energy. To address the challenges in solar power generation forecasting, the paper proposes a new neural network model called Graph Convolutional Random Vector Functional Link (GCRVFL).

The excessive reliance on conventional fossil fuel-based resources poses a significant threat to our environment. To mitigate this impact, it has become increasingly crucial to increase the integration of intermittent and non-polluting energy sources into our electrical grids. However, while this higher penetration rate brings benefits such as improved producer satisfaction and reduced fossil fuel consumption, it also presents challenges for traditional non-smart electrical networks. To promote intermittent energy sources effectively and maintain a balance between consumption and production, accurate forecasting of these energy outputs plays a vital role. This research paper focuses on studying the application of artificial neural networks for predicting the power and energy output of the Diass solar power plant in the short and medium term.

This paper introduces a novel approach for forecasting hourly outputs in photovoltaic power plants. The approach was tailored to the needs of energy cooperatives by focusing on availability/cost, ease of use, reliability, and replicability. Following the cooperative values, the proposed methodology relies entirely on open data; primarily on the data from the Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS). Additionally, the approach was developed to perform short-term (next-day), hourly power-generation forecasts for power plants without or with limited on-site historical records. Seven predictive algorithms were utilized to model the power outputs. The algorithm that performed best (CatBoost) was optimized by using the Sequential Feature Selection and Optuna (automatic hyperparameter optimization software framework). The validation of the developed model was conducted on the actual data from three photovoltaic plants. On these samples, the model performed with a coefficient of determination ranging from 0.83 to 0.9 with only 5 input parameters. Even though the approach was designed to meet the needs of energy cooperatives, it is not limited to such purposes.

О влиянии неопределенностей на прогнозы ветрового ресурса и выработки электроэнергии

The annual power generation of a wind farm is one of the most important indicators determining the profitability of a wind power project. The methods used to estimate the annual power generation of a wind farm have to consider uncertainties at all stages of the project life cycle. When developing a financial model of a wind power project, it is required to consider information about uncertainties to reduce the error and increase the reliability of the project. Specialists of various countries are improving the efficiency of wind power plants, studying wind energy resources, as well as assessing the efficiency of their use. However, special studies do not pay due attention to the problem of assessing the impact of various uncertainties on the forecasts of wind resource and power generation. Two methods are proposed to calculate uncertainties. They are a deterministic method based on the assumption of independence of various uncertainties, and a Monte Carlo method that simulates the behavior of a physical system many times. The paper considers the uncertainties to be considered during the design of a wind farm and presents the variation ranges. The authors have presented the plots of power generation with various levels of probability of being reached or exceeded the total uncertainty for three variants. It is shown that considering the various uncertainties allows a power generation forecast to be made with increased accuracy. The results obtained are necessary to develop a wind measurement data processing model that allows us to forecast electricity generation by existing wind power plants with increased accuracy.

Power generation forecasting for solar plants based on Dynamic Bayesian networks by fusing multi-source information

A Dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) model for solar power generation forecasting in photovoltaic (PV) solar plants is proposed in this paper. The key idea is to fuse sensor data, operational indicators, meteorological data, lagged output power information, and model errors for more accurate short-term (e.g., hours) and mid-term (e.g., days to weeks) power generation forecasting. The proposed DBN augments automated data-driven structure learning with expert knowledge encoding using continuous and categorical data given constraints to represent causal relationships within a solar inverter system. In addition, an error compensation mechanism that uses an error node to capture the temporal fluctuation caused by system degradation or failures is proposed to capture temporal fluctuation. The effectiveness of the DBN on solar power generation forecasting was evaluated by rolling window analysis with one-year testing data collected from a local solar plant. The proposed DBN is compared with four state-of-art methods including support-vector regression (SVR), k-nearest neighbors (kNN), artificial neural network (ANN), and long short-term memory (LSTM) models. The results show that the proposed DBN achieves better accuracy in general, and it is not as data-hungry as some neural network-based models. The proposed DBN is also shown to have robust and consistent forecasting power with different forecasting horizons. The accuracy is 92 %–95 % from 1 h to one week ahead forecasting.

Then the temporal convolutional network is improved to construct the multi-step time series forecasting model MITCN. By combining the proposed model and the powerful probabilistic forecasting method quadratic spline quantile function (QSQF), high-quality probabilistic forecasting of wind power is achieved. Through comprehensive simulations on an open-source dataset, the superiority and efficiency of the proposed method are verified. Compared with some advanced benchmarks, the proposed model can obtain more accurate deterministic and probabilistic forecasting results.

ABSTRACT Accurate and timely forecasting is critical for grid-connected solar power safety and stability, achieved through machine learning (ML) for both common and real-time applications. To mitigate the impact of nonstationarity and volatility in solar power generation, we employed empirical mode decomposition (EMD), ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), variational mode decomposition (VMD), and complete EEMD with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) to decompose time series into frequency components, reducing fluctuations and noise. A combination of four decomposition methods (EMD, EEMD, VMD, and CEEMDAN) and two ML models, bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) were utilized to construct six hybrid forecasting models (EMD-BiLSTM, EMD-BiGRU, EEMD-BiLSTM, EEMD-BiGRU, VMD-BiGRU, and CEEMDAN-BiGRU), which were validated on a dataset from a 20 MW solar power station in Hebei, compared to the seven standalone ML models, backpropagation neural networks (BPNN), support vector machines (SVM), long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), convolutional neural networks (CNN), BiLSTM, and BiGRU, these six hybrid models demonstrated enhanced forecast accuracy. Of these, EEMD-BiGRU, VMD-BiGRU, and CEEMDAN-BiGRU significantly reduced prediction errors, with percentage reductions in root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) ranging from 44.18 ~ 49.43%, 43.67 ~ 48.59%, and 44.64% ~53.53%, respectively. The EEMD-BiGRU model outperformed all hybrid models, achieving an RMSE of 0.7662, MAE of 0.3990, MAPE of 7.982%, and R2 of 0.9865.
