Short-Term Photovoltaic Generation Forecasting System Based on NMF and SVM
With regard to the historical data about power generation and weather condition,as well as the influencing factors,such as weather types,sunshine intensity,temperature,wind speed,etc.,a new short-term forecasting model for power output of a PV power system is proposed based on nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and support vector machine (SVM).On the basis of the relevance and difference principle and the similar day selection algorithm,a method is proposed to select similar days for PV array output power.The input data is decomposed by using the NMF algorithm,then the derived nonnegative mapping matrix with lower dimension is taken as the input of SVM for PV output forecasting.This model possesses some good properties such as eliminating redundant data,reducing variable dimension,etc.,and thus it could keep the practical significance of the original problem.Finally,simulation results are provided to show that the dimension of the input variables can be effectively reduced,and the accuracy could also be greatly improved.
