Abstract

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that the photovoltaic power generation power prediction method is difficult to capture hierarchical time series information, which results in the limited improvement of prediction accuracy. The paper proposes a photovoltaic power generation prediction method based on the fusion of hierarchical time series information and Informer model. First, photovoltaic power sequence scalar projection, local time stamp and global time stamp are extracted to establish a prediction model embedding layer of periodic information enhancement. Then, through the probability sparse self-attention of the Informer coding layer, the important connection between the photovoltaic power generation and the characteristic variables is actively screened. The convolutional layer and pooling layer are used to optimize the model variable dimensions and network parameters for self-attention distillation. Finally, one-step prediction of single-sequence and long-sequence power generation is realized through the generative mechanism of the decoding layer. Through simulation verification, the proposed model has higher prediction accuracy and can make long-term predictions of photovoltaic power generation.

Key words: photovoltaic power generation forecasting, cycle information enhancement, self-attention, long sequence time-series forecasting
