We integrate the long short-term memory (LSTM) network into an ensemble model composed of the least squares support vector machine, echo state network, and extreme-learning machine for wind power generation forecasting. This study presents the first unified forecasting framework that combines these four machine learning techniques to evaluate their collective efficacy in improving prediction accuracy for wind power. Empirical analyses demonstrate that incorporating LSTM into the ensemble does not yield performance improvements over the three-method model. These findings indicate that the added complexity from LSTM does not enhance forecasting accuracy. Additionally, the choice of loss function is observed to have a negligible impact on the models’ predictive performance.
