Interpretable Wind Power Short-Term Power Prediction Model Using Deep Graph Attention Network

Abstract

High-precision spatial-temporal wind power prediction technology is of great significance for ensuring the safe and stable operation of power grids. The development of artificial intelligence technology provides a new scheme for modeling with strong spatial-temporal correlation. In addition, the existing prediction models are mostly ‘black box’ models, lacking interpretability, which may lead to a lack of trust in the model by power grid dispatchers. Therefore, improving the model to obtain interpretability has become an important challenge. In this paper, an interpretable short-term wind power prediction model based on ensemble deep graph neural network is designed. Firstly, the graph network model (GNN) with an attention mechanism is applied to the aggregate and the spatial-temporal features of wind power data are extracted, and the interpretable ability is obtained. Then, the long short-term memory (LSTM) method is used to process the extracted features and establish a wind power prediction model. Finally, the random sampling algorithm is used to optimize the hyperparameters to improve the learning rate and performance of the model. Through multiple comparative experiments and a case analysis, the results show that the proposed model has a higher prediction accuracy than other traditional models and obtains reasonable interpretability in time and space dimensions.

“…Compared with existing deep-learning algorithms, the model achieved a maximum 13.77% improvement in power prediction. Zhang et al [10] proposed a GAT-LSTM short-term wind power prediction model, which adopts a random sampling algorithm to optimize hyperparameters and improve the learning rate and performance of the model. The results show that the proposed model has a higher prediction accuracy than other traditional models and is reasonably interpretable in terms of time and space.…”

Engineering Fastest Control: A New Process Control Method for Thermal Power Units

“…The power system itself is a vast network consisting of three main components: power generation, power transmission and distribution through the power grid, and power consumption by end-users. The power generation side encompasses a diverse range of technologies, including coal-fired thermal power generation [1], gas power generation [2], hydropower generation [3], nuclear power generation [4], wind power generation [5], and photovoltaic power generation [6], among others. These different power generation systems coexist, forming a complex network to meet the energy demands of society.…”
