To enhance the accuracy of photovoltaic power forecasting
this study proposes an ultra-short-term photovoltaic power prediction method incorporating similar-day selection and an Error Correction Model(ECM). First
data is decomposed and reconstructed into high-frequency and low-frequency components using the Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (ICEEMDAN) method. which feeds into a feature extraction and prediction model combining CrossAttention-based Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units(BiGRU) and eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost). Second
the comprehensive similarity factor between the forecast day and historical days is calculated using grey correlation analysis. Meteorologically similar days for the forecast day are selected as input to the BiGRU-based similar-day information enhancement module. A residual forecast sequence is constructed based on the initial forecast sequence to build an error correction model using BiGRU. Finally
the prediction results from the ICEEMDAN-BiGRU-XGBoost-CrossAttention model
integrated with similar-day information
are combined with the prediction errors from the error correction model to derive the final intraday PV power prediction. Using actual meteorological and PV power generation data from photovoltaic stations
comparisons with different PV power generation models validate that the proposed method enhances the accuracy of intraday ultra-short-term PV power prediction and demonstrates practical application value.
