摘要： As a special form of the Internet of Things, Smart Grid is an internet of both power and information, in which energy management is critical for making the best use of the power from renewable energy resources such as solar and wind, while efficient energy management is hinged upon precise forecasting of power generation from renewable energy resources. In this paper, we propose a novel least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and long short term memory (LSTM) integrated forecasting model for precise short-term prediction of solar intensity based on meteorological data. It is a fusion of a basic time series model, data clustering, a statistical model and machine learning. The proposed scheme first clusters data using k-means++. For each cluster, a distinctive forecasting model is then constructed by applying LSTM, which learns the non-linear relationships, and LASSO, which captures the linear relationship within the data. Simulation results with open-source datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model in short-term forecasting of solar intensity.
