Very short-term probabilistic prediction for regional wind power generation based on OPNPIs

Due to the uncertainty and fluctuation of wind power generation, probabilistic prediction for regional wind power generation is critical to accurately quantify the uncertainty of meaningful information to the dispatching departments of power grid. This paper proposes an approach of very short-term probabilistic prediction for regional wind power generation based on the optimal performance-based nonparametric prediction intervals (OPNPIs). Firstly, the deterministic prediction for regional wind power generation considering the division of wind farms based on the detrending-based partial cross-correlation analysis (DPCCA) is studied. Based on the deterministic prediction and its prediction errors, the OPNPIs are proposed considering the reliability and overall performance for the uncertainty analysis. Furthermore, a regulating coefficient is studied to further enhance the performance of PIs. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through multistep PIs of 15-minute based on the real wind power generation data.
