Abstract: In complex weather and seasonal scenarios, single-model photovoltaic (PV) power prediction often lacks stability due to its limited capacity to capture temporal dynamics. To address this, we propose a multi-step prediction framework that incorporates seasonal decomposition to enhance accuracy. Our approach begins with analyzing annual temperature and solar irradiance characteristics using Piecewise Aggregate Approximation for initial seasonal segmentation. This segmentation is refined through optimized Seasonal Clustering to minimize transition intervals and improve seasonal boundaries. A similarity coefficient between transition and adjacent intervals is calculated to further enhance prediction accuracy. Central to our framework is the Savitzky-Golay decomposition block, which is designed for hierarchical decomposition and feature extraction. This forms the core of the SG-Deep-Autoformer model, which effectively separates trend and weather components, capturing complex weather dynamics across multiple temporal scales, and thus improving the forecasting accuracy significantly. Evaluations show that our method outperforms traditional models, including Long Short-Term Memory and Gated Recurrent Unit networks, with an 11.21 % reduction in mean absolute percentage error and notable improvements in mean absolute error and mean squared error. The method's effectiveness is validated across diverse datasets, demonstrating robust performance under varying weather and seasonal conditions. By integrating seasonal decomposition with advanced feature extraction, the SG-Deep-Autoformer provides a reliable tool for PV power forecasting, thereby enhancing energy management and grid operations.
