Most relevant input parameters selection for 10-min global solar irradiation estimation on arbitrary inclined plane using neural networks

This paper propounds the use of ‘Weights’ method to assess the relative importance of input features for estimating 10-min global solar irradiation on an arbitrary tilted plane, using artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Two different data sources are exerted: satellite data, including different inclinations, are used for learning, while ground data, measured at Bouzaréah radiometric station (Algeria), are used for testing. ‘Weights’ method...
