- 用虚拟发电量隔离干扰,模拟真实气象误差特性进行测试
- 序列模型在中高扰动下噪声过滤能力更强,比传统模型更稳定
- 适合关注模型在不确定天气下表现的工程部署与选型决策者
AI预测模型在工程应用中不仅需要高精度,还需在输入不确定时行为可预测。在光伏预测中,数值天气预报(NWP)误差具有时间相关性、状态依赖性和变量间物理耦合性,现有评估常基于理想预报或简单扰动,无法反映真实情况。本研究提出一种基于仿真的物理约束鲁棒性评估框架,使用虚拟光伏功率作为可控响应变量,分离电站层面的混杂因素。评估了六种代表性机器学习与深度序列模型(包括PatchTST、GRU、N-HITS、LightGBM),在动态NWP扰动下进行测试,扰动异方差性由晴空条件和Erbs重建方法调节以保持辐射一致性。结果表明,在中高扰动环境下,序列模型比强基线表格模型具备更强的噪声滤除能力和时间鲁棒性。SHAP与集成梯度分析显示,案例级特征依赖发生重分配:预测权重从受损的未来预报转向更稳定的过去观测与确定性物理先验。对清洁条件下精度、鲁棒性与计算延迟的帕累托分析,将结果转化为模型选择与鲁棒性评估的工程启示。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Engineering use of AI forecasting models requires not only high nominal accuracy but also predictable behavior under uncertain inputs. In photovoltaic (PV) forecasting, this requirement is especially challenging because numerical weather prediction (NWP) errors are temporally correlated, state dependent, and physically coupled across variables. Existing evaluations, however, often rely on perfect forecast assumptions or simplistic perturbations that do not reflect these characteristics. This study presents a physically constrained robustness evaluation framework based on simulation, using virtual PV power as a controlled response variable to isolate the propagation of input uncertainty from confounders at the plant level. Six representative machine learning and deep sequence models, including PatchTST, GRU, N-HITS, and LightGBM, are evaluated under dynamic NWP perturbations with heteroscedasticity modulated by clear-sky conditions and Erbs reconstruction that preserves radiation consistency. The results show that sequence models provide stronger noise filtering and temporal resilience than a strong tabular baseline under medium to high disturbance regimes. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) and Integrated Gradients (IG) further support a feature reallocation tendency at the case level, in which predictive reliance shifts from corrupted future forecasts toward more stable historical observations and deterministic physical priors. A Pareto analysis of accuracy under clean conditions, robustness, and computational latency then translates these findings into engineering implications for robustness assessment and model selection under forecast uncertainty.
