Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is characterized by high stochasticity, symmetry in daily power generation and low predictive accuracy. Enhancing the precision of power forecasting is crucial for improving symmetrical economic operation of the power grid. Due to Back-Propagation (BP) neural network prediction, there are problems such as difficulty in choosing network structure and high data requirements. A hybrid photovoltaic power forecasting model is introduced, utilizing the black-winged kite optimization algorithm (BKA) method to optimize the number of decompositions and maximum number of iterations in variational mode decomposition (VMD), as well as the critical parameters in the BP neural network. Initially, SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations) analysis identifies the primary factors used to serve as inputs for the K-means++ clustering of similar days, with the dataset segmented into samples of analogous days to reduce the asymmetric stochasticity of PV generation. Subsequently, the highly correlated features and PV power across different weather scenarios are decomposed using VMD, and a BKA-BP neural network prediction model is developed for each subcomponent. Ultimately, the predicted values are reconstructed through superimposition to yield the final prediction outcomes. The simulation findings indicate that VMD-BKA-BP neural network ensemble prediction model significantly enhances the short-term prediction accuracy of photovoltaic power relative to alternative models. This prediction model can be used in the future to optimize power dispatch and improve grid stability.
