Aiming at the problem that the forecast of a single model in forecasting the generation power of photovoltaic power plants is not ideal due to its inherent limitations
and that the weight of the traditional combination model is constant and not optimal
and its forecast potential is not fully exploited
a prediction method based on the Q-learning combination model is proposed. Firstly
meteorological features and time series with strong correlation with power generation are selected as input features through Pearson correlation coefficient; Secondly
two single models namely XGBoost(eXtreme Gradient Boosting) and LSTM(Long Short Term Memory) are used to forecast the generation power; Finally
the Q-learning algorithm is used to perform online rolling optimization on historical samples and update the combination weights of each preliminary forecast in real-time
thereby achieving the optimal time-varying weight combination. The experimental results show that compared to other models
the method can significantly improve forecast accuracy and effectiveness
