description Due to the lack of historical output data of new wind farms, there are difficulties in the scheduling and planning of power grid and wind power output scenario generation. The randomness and uncertainty of meteorological factors lead to the results of traditional scenario generation methods not having the ability to accurately reflect their uncertainty. This article proposes a RAC-GAN-based scenario generation method for a new wind farm output. First, the Pearson coefficient is adopted in this method to screen the meteorological factors and obtain the ones that have larger impact on wind power output; Second, based on the obtained meteorological factors, the Grey Relation Analysis (GRA) is used to analyze the meteorological correlation between multiple wind farms with sufficient output data and new wind farms (target power stations), so that the wind farm with high meteorological correlation is selected as the source power station. Then, the K-means method is adopted to cluster the meteorological data of the source power station, thus generating the target power station scenario in which the cluster information serves as the label of the robust auxiliary classifier generative adversarial network (RAC-GAN) model and the output data of the source power station is considered as the basis. Finally, the actual wind farm output and meteorological data of a region in northeast China are employed for arithmetic analysis to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is proved that the proposed method can effectively reflect the characteristics of wind power output and solve the problem of insufficient historical data of new wind farm output.
