Abstract: PV power output is affected by solar irradiance, temperature and instantaneous cloud, and its generation presents obvious non-stationary features, which increases the difficulty of prediction. To reduce the influence of output volatility on the prediction effectiveness and satisfy the accuracy requirement of ultra-short-term prediction, this paper proposes a two-stage method to build input samples. Firstly, the grey correlation principle is applied to build similar sample collection. Then, the empirical mode decomposition method is used to decompose the output sequence of similar days. After getting the relatively stable function and the remaining component, the support vector machine, a data mining tool, is used to do rolling prediction for every component. Finally, all the prediction results are added to get the prediction of next moment. A case study proves that the root-mean-square error of the combined model shows a high precision of 1.93, which can provide more decision-making support for PV power scheduling.
