Graph Convolutional Neural Networks for Forecasting Spatial Generation in Distributed Photovoltaic Systems with Temporal-Spatial Correlation
摘要
The output of distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by factors like weather and illumination, which show significant spatial and temporal correlations. Accurately forecasting PV output requires a comprehensive approach that considers both temporal dynamics and geographical factors. Traditional forecasting methods focus on temporal data in Euclidean spaces, often missing spatial characteristics in non-Euclidean graph structures. To address these challenges, we propose a novel forecasting methodology using a temporal graph convolutional network (TGCN) to analyze spatiotemporal correlations among distributed PV systems. This paper applies the method to photovoltaic data from Guangde City, China, and compares its performance with existing techniques to demonstrate improved accuracy.
