Prediction of operating photovoltaic module temperature using hybrid Cuckoo Search algorithm: artificial neural network / Nur Zahidah Zainol

This project presents a hybrid Cuckoo Search-Artificial Neural Network (CSANN) for predicting the module operating temperature of a Grid-Connected Photovoltaic (GCPV) system. In this project, the ANN used ambient temperature (AT) and solar irradiance (SI) as the inputs and module temperature (MT) as...

In this project, the ANN used ambient temperature (AT) and solar irradiance (SI) as the inputs and module temperature (MT) as the main output.

After the training process, testing was performed to validate the ANN training. The results indicated that the proposed hybrid CS-ANN had outperformed a hybrid Artificial Bee Colony-Artificial Neural Network (ABC-ANN) in producing lower MAPE.
