Abstract

This paper uses recurrent neural network (Long Short – Term Memory - LSTM network) to build a model to forecast short-term generation capacity of Phong Dien solar power plant, (48 MWp – 35 MWAC) located in Thua Thien Hue Province, Viet Nam, with input factors including meteorological parameters. The authors conducted experiments to find the optimal structure of the model corresponding to the conditions of the plant and the data collection. Through this model, meteorological forecast data sets from commercial suppliers were used to forecast the plant's output power. The comments about the result as well as the further study direction are analysed and suggested.
