Abstract

Ultra-short-term photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting is crucial in the scheduling and functioning of contemporary electrical systems, playing a key role in promoting renewable energy integration and sustainability. In this paper, a novel hybrid model, termed AI_VMD-HS_CNN-BiLSTM-A, is introduced to tackle the challenges associated with the volatility and unpredictability inherent in PV power output. Firstly, Akaike information criterion variational mode decomposition (AI_VMD) integrates the Akaike information criterion with variational mode decomposition (VMD) and reduces data complexity, enhancing grid optimization and energy efficiency. The adaptive selection of optimal parameters enhances VMD decomposition performance, supporting sustainable energy management. Secondly, the hierarchical scale-transform convolutional architecture (HS_CNN) supplements the traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) with two channels featuring distinct dilation rates, thereby extracting dual levels of time-scale information for a more comprehensive data representation. Finally, a bidirectional long short-term memory neural network (BiLSTM) with an attentional mechanism combines past and future data to enable more accurate forecasts, aiding in carbon reduction and smart grid advancements. Experimentation with data from the Alice Springs PV plant in Australia demonstrates that the proposed AI_VMD-HS_CNN-BiLSTM-A model exhibits superior adaptability and accuracy in multiple time-scale forecasting compared to the baseline models. This approach is important for decision-making and scheduling in grid-connected photovoltaic systems, enhancing energy resilience and promoting the sustainable development of renewable energy.
