清晰天空模型广泛应用于太阳能领域,如质量控制、资源评估、卫星辐照估算和预测。但在短期预测与临近预报中存在同步误差、依赖清晰天空指数(全球水平辐照度与无云条件下的比值)以及对气溶胶光学深度误差高度敏感等问题,尤其在低太阳高度角时限制了其实际应用价值。本文探讨了不依赖清晰天空模型进行短时预测的可行性,提出一种基于极端学习机(ELM)的无清晰天空模型预测方法。该方法直接从原始全球水平辐照度(GHI)数据中学习日周期性与局部变异性,无需清晰天空归一化,简化流程并提升可扩展性。该非线性自适应统计方法隐式学习无云条件下的辐照度,避免了清晰天空模型及其相关操作问题。通过与传统基准(如基于McClear生成清晰天空数据的ARMA模型及分位数回归)对比,确定性与概率性结果均表明,ELM表现相当或更优,提供高精度预测与稳健的不确定性量化。该方法为实时太阳能预测提供了简单高效解决方案,克服了传统乘法标准化过程的局限性,适用于现代能源系统。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Clearsky models are widely used in solar energy for many applications such as quality control, resource assessment, satellite-base irradiance estimation and forecasting. However, their use in forecasting and nowcasting is associated with a number of challenges. Synchronization errors, reliance on the Clearsky index (ratio of the global horizontal irradiance to its cloud-free counterpart) and high sensitivity of the clearsky model to errors in aerosol optical depth at low solar elevation limit their added value in real-time applications. This paper explores the feasibility of short-term forecasting without relying on a clearsky model. We propose a Clearsky-Free forecasting approach using Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) models. ELM learns daily periodicity and local variability directly from raw Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) data. It eliminates the need for Clearsky normalization, simplifying the forecasting process and improving scalability. Our approach is a non-linear adaptative statistical method that implicitely learns the irradiance in cloud-free conditions removing the need for an clear-sky model and the related operational issues. Deterministic and probabilistic results are compared to traditional benchmarks, including ARMA with McClear-generated Clearsky data and quantile regression for probabilistic forecasts. ELM matches or outperforms these methods, providing accurate predictions and robust uncertainty quantification. This approach offers a simple, efficient solution for real-time solar forecasting. By overcoming the stationarization process limitations based on usual multiplicative scheme Clearsky models, it provides a flexible and reliable framework for modern energy systems.
