Abstract

Artificial Neural Networks are being used in many applications and forecasting is one of such application where it solves the purpose like stock market predictions, sales forecasting, etc., over the past. In this paper, ANN models are used for forecasting solar power. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network models have been tested for different combinations of transfer functions and net input function on different number of neurons and layers for forecasting solar power. The evaluation and implementation of models are being measured by mean square error.
