Very-Short-Term Solar Forecasting with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Network

To address the serious challenges to traditional power systems caused by high variability of solar production, especially the ramp events, this paper is aimed at predicting solar radiation accurately at a very-short-term scale, i.e. several minutes ahead. Quite different from traditional methods, our designed system conducts time series prediction based upon meteorological data and sky images' features with the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)...
