Abstract:  Processing data properly and constructing a rational photovoltaic output model is the base of power system operation and plan. Focusing on characteristics of photovoltaic output, a photovoltaic output clustering and simulation method based on Markov model and spectral clustering is proposed. Firstly, the amplitude parameter, the standard component and fluctuant component are extracted from photovoltaic output and Markov model is adopted to analyze the fluctuant component. We use spectral clustering and Alpha value, Silhouette index and Bayesian information criterion to evaluate the quality of clustering results and to determine the optimal cluster number. Then, state-transition matrixes between the weather in the month and power output in the day are integrated, and a bistratal Markov model is constructed. Finally, the mid/long term photovoltaic simulating output is generated by utilizing the bistratal sampling. Compared with the K-means clustering analysis, spectral clustering is more suitable for processing photovoltaic output data, especially in the condition of data missing or data error and in distinguishing weather data. Through the comparative analysis on statistical characters, timing characters and weather characters, the validity of the proposed model is verified.

Key words: Markov model, spectral clustering, mid/long term photovoltaic output simulation
