Summary: | Photovoltaic power output forecast error exists objectively and inevitably, and it can provide a guarantee for safe and stable operation of the power system through analyzing its characteristics. In this paper, the influence of predicted output fluctuation characteristics (predicted output amplitude and power variation) on prediction error was studied based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method. The prediction error conditions were classified into six types based on the clustering of numerical characteristics of predicted output. Then, a Generalized Gaussian Mixture Model (GGMM) was proposed to fit the prediction error distribution of each type of photovoltaic output. The mean absolute error (MAE), coefficient of determination (R2), and root mean square error (RMSE) were used as accuracy evaluation indexes. The example analysis showed that the GGMM can satisfy the asymmetry and kurtosis diversity of the error distribution after division by conditions, and the fitting result is better than that of the normal distribution, improved Laplace distribution and t Location-Scale distribution model.
