Abstract

Summary: The acquisition granularity (time feature quantity) and sampling span (spatial feature quantity) of the data are the feature factors to analyze the active power of renewable energy power stations. According to the time and space characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) power stations, the acquisition granularity and sampling span calibration methods of PV output power based on data mining technology are proposed this paper. The initial range of the acquisition granularity is determined by analyzing the maximum‐order difference components of the PV output power. Through deeply mining the continuous change state of the PV output power, an acquisition granularity calibration method of the PV output power based on the multiobjective optimization model is proposed from time characteristics. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve the model to obtain the optimal the acquisition granularity of the PV power station. Through the analysis of the sample information entropy change trend of the PV output power, a sampling span calibration method of the PV output power based on the information entropy theory is proposed from space characteristics. The sensitivity analysis of the acquisition granularity and sampling span of the data to the capacity of energy storage systems is realized by the smooth control of the PV output power using first‐order low filters. The simulation tests of the annual history operating data at a PV power station with the installed capacity of 40 MW in China verify the validity of the provided methods. The simulation results show when the acquisition granularity takes 60 seconds and the sampling span takes 33 days, it can satisfy the accuracy of the required data of energy storage systems to realize the smooth control of the PV output power.
