A Prosumer Power Prediction Method Based on Dynamic Segmented Curve Matching and Trend Feature Perception

Abstract

With the massive installation of distributed renewable energy (DRE) generation, many prosumers with the dual attributes of load and power supply have emerged. Different DRE permeability and the corresponding peak-valley timing characteristics have an impact on the power features of prosumers, so new models and methods are needed to reflect the new features brought about by these factors. This paper proposes a method for predicting the power of prosumers. In this method, dynamic segmented curve matching is applied to reduce the complexity of source–load coupling features and improve the effectiveness of the input features, and trend feature perception based on a temporal convolutional network (TCN) was applied to grasp the power trend of prosumers by predicting the multisegment trend indexes. The LST-Atten prediction model based on a temporal attention mechanism (TAM) and a long short-term memory (LSTM) network was applied to predict “day-ahead” power, which combines the trend indexes and similar curve sets as the input. Simulation results show that the proposed model has higher accuracy than individual models. Furthermore, the proposed model can maintain prediction stability under different renewable energy permeability scenarios.
