📝 摘要(中文)
工程应用中的AI预测模型不仅需要高精度,还需在不确定输入下表现出可预测性。光伏(PV)功率预测面临的挑战尤为明显,因为数值天气预报(NWP)误差具有时间相关性、状态依赖性和变量间的物理耦合性。现有评估往往假设完美预测或采用简单扰动,未能反映这些特征。本研究提出了一种基于模拟的物理约束鲁棒性评估框架,通过虚拟PV功率作为受控响应变量,隔离输入不确定性在植物层面的传播。对六种代表性的机器学习和深度序列模型进行评估,结果显示序列模型在中高扰动下提供了比强表格基线更强的噪声过滤和时间韧性。

📄 摘要(原文)
Engineering use of AI forecasting models requires not only high nominal accuracy but also predictable behavior under uncertain inputs. In photovoltaic (PV) forecasting, this requirement is especially challenging because numerical weather prediction (NWP) errors are temporally correlated, state dependent, and physically coupled across variables. Existing evaluations, however, often rely on perfect forecast assumptions or simplistic perturbations that do not reflect these characteristics. This study presents a physically constrained robustness evaluation framework based on simulation, using virtual PV power as a controlled response variable to isolate the propagation of input uncertainty from confounders at the plant level. Six representative machine learning and deep sequence models, including PatchTST, GRU, N-HITS, and LightGBM, are evaluated under dynamic NWP perturbations with heteroscedasticity modulated by clear-sky conditions and Erbs reconstruction that preserves radiation consistency. The results show that sequence models provide stronger noise filtering and temporal resilience than a strong tabular baseline under medium to high disturbance regimes. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) and Integrated Gradients (IG) further support a feature reallocation tendency at the case level, in which predictive reliance shifts from corrupted future forecasts toward more stable historical observations and deterministic physical priors. A Pareto analysis of accuracy under clean conditions, robustness, and computational latency then translates these findings into engineering implications for robustness assessment and model selection under forecast uncertainty.
