Short-term power forecasting of distributed photovoltaic cluster based on fuzzy C-means clustering and GWO-GAT-BiGRU model
have become the dominant power supplier. Accurate forecasting of PV output is critical for maintaining power system stability. However
most existing forecasting methods have mainly focused on temporal sequence modeling while overlooking the spatial feature information among PV clusters. To address this issue
this study proposes a distributed PV short-term forecasting model that integrates fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering and spatiotemporal graph neural network. Firstly
distributed PV stations are clustered with the FCM algorithm
and then a graph structure is constructed. The graph attention network (GAT) is employed to capture spatial features among distributed PV stations
and the sequences are processed by the bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) to extract temporal features. In addition
the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is introduced to optimize the model hyperparameters. The experimental results based on real data from 10 distributed PV stations verify that the proposed forecasting method effectively integrates spatial and temporal features of distributed PV stations and improves the prediction accuracy by at least 6.7% compared with other models.
