Abstract

It is very important to analyze the influence of solar radiation for most of the application in solar energy research. Despite the great importance of Global Solar Radiation (GSR), the number of radiation stations are very less when compared to the stations that collect regular meteorological data like air temperature and humidity. The main objective of this paper is to study the feasibility of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based method to estimate and predict GSR. The studies shows that prediction using ANN are more accurate when compared to conventional models. The accuracy of prediction depends on input parameter combinations and training algorithm. The places that were selected for study was Bangalore, Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai and Hyderabad. Average temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and altitude were used as the input parameters. The ANN model was developed using ANN fitting tool (nftool) which consists of a standard two layers feed forward neural network trained with Lavenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm.
