Solar Energy Potential Estimation in Perak Using Clearness Index and Artificial Neural Network
In this paper solar energy potential has been estimated by two methods which are clearness index and artificial network (ANN) methods. The selected region is Seri Iskandar, Perak (4°24´latitude, 100°58´E longitude, 24 m altitude). Experimental data (monthly average daily radiation on horizontal sur...
