Therefore, forecast- 4 | ing of such energies becomes very important. This research conducts research 5 | on forecasting solar power using a LSTM neural network. Data from BSRN 6 | with a time frame of 1 min is used to built a model. Humidity, Dew/Frost 7 | point, Station Pressure, month number and day number were found to work 8 | best to predict solar radiation. Further the tuning, evaluation and testing of 9 | the model are extensively discussed. An analysis of power spectral density 10 | of the predicted values shows that there exist difficulties in predicting in low 11 | frequencies. The LSTM model shows overall promising results and can be 12 | used for various data sizes. 13 | 14 | For data please request at BSRN: https://bsrn.awi.de/ 15 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
