Rural Distributed Photovoltaic Spatial Generation Forecasting Based on Graph Convolutional Neural Networks with Temporal-Spatial Correlation
摘要
Due to the unique geographical location of rural areas, distributed PV systems are more dispersed. This leads to difficulties in mining the spatio-temporal characteristics of their output. To overcome this challenge, a graph-temporal convolutional neural network prediction method based on spatio-temporal correlation is proposed. The distributed PV system is considered a class I cell nodes. Its historical output data serves as the feature information of the node, while the topology of its spatial location is used as an edge to construct a spatio-temporal information graph of the system’s output. The adjacency matrix is determined using the spatial correlation of distributed PV systems. The spatio-temporal information graph and the spatial output is input into the graph-temporal convolutional network for training and prediction. This paper uses PV power generation data in a rural area as an example to compare with existing methods and verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
