Paper Title
Estimation Of Solar Radiation By Artificial Neural Network Model

Abstract
-In this paper artificial neural Networks is used for predicting solar global radiation by using meteorological parameters. Seven meteorological parameters is considered for 14 cities to estimate solar radiation. The inputs are wind speed, rainfall, sunshine duration, temperature, vapour pressure, humidity, and rainy day. The ANN model is based on the feed forward multilayer perception model with seven inputs and one output. Based on the results, the average MAPE, mean bias error for the predicted global solar irradiation are 3.99%and 2.96%.The results shown a better accuracy than other conventional prediction models. The results of these models have shown the capability of ANN models for predicting solar radiation in the locations that there is no any measurement.
