Global Solar Radiation Prediction for Makurdi, Nigeria Using Feed Forward Backward Propagation Neural Network
Authors
Abstract:
The optimum design of solar energy systems strongly depends on the accuracy of solar radiation data. However, the availability of accurate solar radiation data is undermined by the high cost of measuring equipment or non-functional ones. This study developed a feed-forward backpropagation artificial neural network model for prediction of global solar radiation in Makurdi, Nigeria (7.7322 N long. 8.5391 E) using MATLAB 2010a Neural Network toolbox. The training and testing data were obtained from the Nigeria metrological station (NIMET), Makurdi. Five meteorological input parameters including maximum and temperature, mean relative humidity, wind speed, and sunshine hour were used, while global solar radiation was used as the output of the network. During training, the root mean square error, correlation coefficient and mean absolute percentage error (%) were 0.80442, 0.9797, and 3.9588, respectively; for testing, a root mean square value, correlation coefficient, and mean absolute percentage error (%) were 0.98831, 0.9784, and 5.561, respectively. These parameters suggest high reliability of the model for the prediction of solar radiation in locations where solar radiation data are not available.

Signal Prediction by Layered Feed - Forward Neural Network (RESEARCH NOTE).
In this paper a nonparametric neural network (NN) technique for prediction of future values of a signal based on its past history is presented. This approach bypasses modeling, identification, and parameter estimation phases that are required by conventional parametric techniques. A multi-layer feed forward NN is employed. It develops an internal model of the signal through a training operation...

In this paper, we propose four techniques for extraction of facial features namely 2DPCA, LDA, KPCA and KFA. The purpose of face feature extraction is to capture certain discriminative features that are unique for a person. In the previous works that uses PCA for face feature extraction involves merging the features and reducing the dimensions that results in some information loss. To overcome ...
