Short-term power prediction of photovoltaic power station based on long short-term memory-back-propagation by Chi Hua, Erxi Zhu, Liang Kuang, Dechang Pi

“…Compared with the traditional method, the long short-term memory-back-propagation neural network based on the improved data set has a lower prediction error. At the same time, a horizontal comparison with the multiple linear regression and the support vector machine shows that the long short-term memory-back-propagation method has several advantages. …”
