Abstract:Currently,the output prediction of photovoltaic system could not meet the requirements of power system dispatching in the aspect of precision,which has become one of the major bottlenecks to hinder the development of photovoltaic. Taking the highly non - linear characteristics of photovoltaic system into account,it is difficult to use the conventional mathematical model to represent the mapping relationship between the output power and the external conditions. Firstly,an output preliminary prediction mode of photovoltaic system is established using the traditional back - propagation neural network as the foundation of modeling. Secondly,the initial forecast results are corrected based on the statistical regularities of fluctuation quantity in historical output data. And a higher precision model for output prediction of photovoltaic system is established. The simulation and the error analysis are verified,whose results show that the proposed output prediction model of photovoltaic system can reflect the actual situation perfectly.
