Abstract

Due to the influence of solar irradiation, temperature and other environmental factors, the output power of photovoltaic power generation has great randomness and randomness discontinuity. In this paper, a method for analyzing environment data related photovoltaic power generation based on ensembles of decision trees algorithm is studied. Firstly, the characteristics of environmental factors of photovoltaic power generation are analyzed by K-means clustering. And then the corresponding cluster label is assigned. Furthermore, the Radom Forests is combined to build a model. Finally, the method is validated by given data above from a real project. The results show that the proposed method can provide reference for the forecasting of photovoltaic power.
