Spectral normalization generative adversarial networks for photovoltaic power scenario generation

Abstract

Abstract The large‐scale integration of new energy generation into the power transmission network introduces uncertainty and fluctuations, posing a threat to the secure operation of the transmission network. Modelling and analysing the uncertainty in photovoltaic (PV) generation is essential. This paper introduces a method for generating scenarios for centralized PV station based on spectral normalization generative adversarial networks (SNGAN). Data‐driven scenario generation methods, with generative adversarial networks (GAN) as representatives, are commonly used today to analyse the uncertainty of new energy generation. In addressing the uncertainty of centralized PV power generation, this paper introduces SNGAN, makes improvements to the discriminator, enhances training stability, and generates PV power generation scenarios. The incorporation of spectral normalization as a regularization technique contributes to the stability and convergence of the proposed GAN model. The effectiveness of the selected method is validated through comparisons with actual data.
