Deep belief rule based photovoltaic power forecasting method with interpretability.

ABSTRACT: Accurate prediction of photovoltaic (PV) output power is of great significance for reasonable scheduling and development management of power grids. In PV power generation prediction system, there are two problems: the uncertainty of PV power generation and the inexplicability of the prediction result. The belief rule base (BRB) is a rule-based modeling method and can deal with uncertain information. Moreover, the modeling process of BRB has a certain degree of interpretability. However, rule explosion and the inexplicability of the optimized model limit the modeling ability of BRB in complex systems. Thus, a PV output power prediction model is proposed based on a deep belief rule base with interpretability (DBRB-I). In the DBRB-I model, the deep BRB structure is constructed to solve the rule explosion problem, and inefficient rules are simplified by a sensitivity analysis of the rules, which reduces the complexity of the model. Moreover, to ensure that the interpretability of the model is not destroyed, a new optimization method based on the projection covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (P-CMA-ES) algorithm is designed. Finally, a case study of the prediction of PV output power is conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Project description:Sensor data are gaining increasing global attention due to the advent of Internet of Things (IoT). Reasoning is applied on such sensor data in order to compute prediction. Generating a health warning that is based on prediction of atmospheric pollution, planning timely evacuation of people from vulnerable areas with respect to prediction of natural disasters, etc., are the use cases of sensor data stream where prediction is vital to protect people and assets. Thus, prediction accuracy is of paramount importance to take preventive steps and avert any untoward situation. Uncertainties of sensor data is a severe factor which hampers prediction accuracy. Belief Rule Based Expert System (BRBES), a knowledge-driven approach, is a widely employed prediction algorithm to deal with such uncertainties based on knowledge base and inference engine. In connection with handling uncertainties, it offers higher accuracy than other such knowledge-driven techniques, e.g., fuzzy logic and Bayesian probability theory. Contrarily, Deep Learning is a data-driven technique, which constitutes a part of Artificial Intelligence (AI). By applying analytics on huge amount of data, Deep Learning learns the hidden representation of data. Thus, Deep Learning can infer prediction by reasoning over available data, such as historical data and sensor data streams. Combined application of BRBES and Deep Learning can compute prediction with improved accuracy by addressing sensor data uncertainties while utilizing its discovered data pattern. Hence, this paper proposes a novel predictive model that is based on the integrated approach of BRBES and Deep Learning. The uniqueness of this model lies in the development of a mathematical model to combine Deep Learning with BRBES and capture the nonlinear dependencies among the relevant variables. We optimized BRBES further by applying parameter and structure optimization on it. Air pollution prediction has been taken as use case of our proposed combined approach. This model has been evaluated against two different datasets. One dataset contains synthetic images with a corresponding label of PM2.5 concentrations. The other one contains real images, PM2.5 concentrations, and numerical weather data of Shanghai, China. We also distinguished a hazy image between polluted air and fog through our proposed model. Our approach has outperformed only BRBES and only Deep Learning in terms of prediction accuracy.
