分析全国光伏发电突变事件,提升电网稳定性预测能力

Characterization and forecasting of national-scale solar power ramp events

  • 构建量化指标,系统刻画全国范围光伏突变事件特征
  • 发现上午云消散引发升功率,下午云增多导致降功率
  • 评估多种模型,发现SHADECast表现最优但仍难捕捉突变

太阳能发电的快速增长正重塑电力系统运行模式,光伏装机规模扩大带来了短时发电波动,加剧了电网管理复杂性。本文基于6434个光伏电站两年内15分钟分辨率的发电数据,定义并系统分析了国家级尺度的光伏突变事件,涵盖其发生频率、幅度与时空分布。研究揭示:上午光伏突增通常由云层消散引发,而下午突降多因云量增加所致,表明中尺度云系统是关键气象驱动因素。同时,采用SolarSTEPS、SHADECast、IrradianceNet和IFS-ENS等深度学习与物理模型,评估了确定性与概率性光伏发电预测性能。结果显示,SHADECast在两小时预报时效下,连续排序概率评分(CRPS)比SolarSTEPS低10.8%;然而,现有先进短时预报模型在突变期间预测误差(RMSE)较正常状态最高上升50%,表明当前模型仍难以准确捕捉突变动态。研究强调需发展更高分辨率的时空建模方法,以提升大规模光伏接入下的突变预测能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The rapid growth of solar energy is reshaping power system operations and increasing the complexity of grid management. As photovoltaic (PV) capacity expands, short-term fluctuations in PV generation introduce substantial operational uncertainty. At the same time, solar power ramp events intensify risks of grid instability and unplanned outages due to sudden large power fluctuations. Accurate identification, forecasting and mitigation of solar ramp events are therefore critical to maintaining grid stability. In this study, we analyze two years of PV power production from 6434 PV stations at 15-minute resolution. We develop quantitative metrics to define solar ramp events and systematically characterize their occurrence, frequency, and magnitude at a national scale. Furthermore, we examine the meteorological drivers of ramp events, highlighting the role of mesoscale cloud systems. In particular, we observe that ramp-up events are typically associated with cloud dissipation during the morning, while ramp-down events commonly occur when cloud cover increases in the afternoon. Additionally, we adopt a recently developed spatiotemporal forecasting framework to evaluate both deterministic and probabilistic PV power forecasts derived from deep learning and physics-based models, including SolarSTEPS, SHADECast, IrradianceNet, and IFS-ENS. The results show that SHADECast is the most reliable model, achieving a CRPS 10.8% lower than that of SolarSTEPS at a two-hour lead time. Nonetheless, state-of-the-art nowcasting models struggle to capture ramp dynamics, with forecast RMSE increasing by up to 50% compared to normal operating conditions. Overall, these results emphasize the need for improved high-resolution spatiotemporal modelling to enhance ramp prediction skill and support the reliable integration of large-scale solar generation into power systems.
