Abstract:

A forecasting model of support vector machine (SVM) based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) is proposed to tackle with the problem of the accuracy of the short-term forecast of photovoltaic system (PVs) hourly output. Both of historical data for the hourly output of PVs and the related meteorological factors, belong to the days that are similar to the forecast day, are taken into consideration. The historical data for hourly output of PVs is decomposed into a series of relatively stable components by using EEMD method. SVM models with different kernel functions and parameters optimized by IPSO are established to forecast different decomposed components. Then different prediction models are established to compare with each other. And the combined prediction model proposed in this paper is validated to has high prediction accuracy, which has a great significance for economic dispatch of power system incorporating large-scale photovoltaic plant.
