Abstract

Accurate photovoltaic power prediction is important to ensure the safety, stability, and economic operation of the power system after high photovoltaic demand. However, due to the intermittent and stochastic volatility characteristics of photovoltaic power, it is difficult to build satisfactory photovoltaic power prediction models. In this study, a similar day-based ultrashort-term multi-step ahead prediction model of photovoltaic power is proposed, which combines enhanced colliding bodies optimization (ECBO), variational mode decomposition (VMD), and a deep extreme learning machine (DELM). First, a new training data selection method based on grey correlation analysis and a Pearson correlation coefficient is proposed to find days that are similar to the predicted day. Second, the variational mode decomposition, based on enhanced colliding bodies optimization, is used to decompose the original photovoltaic power data into an ensemble of components with different amplitudes and frequencies, in which a new fitness function is designed based on a weighted-permutation entropy algorithm. Finally, the deep extreme learning machine network is employed to complete the prediction of each component, and the enhanced colliding bodies optimization algorithm is utilized again to obtain the optimal neuron numbers in hidden layers of the deep extreme learning machine; the ultimate prediction results of the photovoltaic power is obtained by reconstructing the prediction value of each component. The proposed model is tested with data from a real-world photovoltaic power station located in Xinjiang, China. The experimental results show that: (a) among all the competing models, the proposed model can achieve the highest multi-step prediction accuracy; (b) a qualitative breakthrough on the prediction accuracy improvement has been made by the proposed model in the 1-step and 2-step ahead prediction; (c) only a few parameters need to be tuned manually in the whole prediction process; the proposed model has good intelligence capabilities and can be easily applied and popularized in the practical projects.
