Abstract

The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) fitting tool is used for the prediction of solar radiation. Solar radiation data from 12 Indian stations with different climatic conditions are used for training and testing the ANN. The Levenberg-Marquard (LM) algorithm is used in this analysis. The results of ANN model are compared with measured data on the basis of root mean square error (RMSE) and mean bias error (MBE). It is found that RMSE in the ANN model varies 0. 0486–3. 562 for Indian region.
