ABSTRACT

To address the issues of photovoltaic (PV) power generation being significantly affected by meteorological factors, exhibiting strong output sequence volatility, and having short-term prediction accuracy susceptible to error accumulation, this paper proposes a short-term PV power prediction method based on Stacking-Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-Temporal Convolutional Network-Attention (TCN). This method first employs a Stacking ensemble learning model to integrate the prediction advantages of multiple base learners to obtain initial power prediction results. Then, CNN-TCN error correction network is constructed to perform deep feature learning on the initial prediction error. The CNN captures local fluctuation features, the Temporal Convolutional Network extracts temporal dependency information, and the Attention mechanism enhances the weight representation of key error segments. Finally, a rolling iteration strategy is combined to achieve continuous multi-step prediction. Experimental results show that this method exhibits high prediction accuracy and stability in typical daily predictions, comparisons with different models, and monthly error analysis, effectively improving the short-term PV power prediction performance under complex weather conditions.
