Expanding the number of photovoltaic (PV) systems integrated into a grid raises many concerns regarding protection, system safety, and power quality. In order to monitor the effects of the current harmonics generated by PV systems, this paper presents long-term current harmonic distortion prediction models. The proposed models use a multilayer perceptron neural network, a type of artificial neural network (ANN), with input parameters that are easy to measure in order to predict current harmonics. The models were trained with one-year worth of measurements of power quality at the point of common coupling of the PV system with the distribution network and the meteorological parameters measured at the test site. A total of six different models were developed, tested, and validated regarding a number of hidden layers and input parameters. The results show that the model with three input parameters and two hidden layers generates the best prediction performance.

<p>The objective of this paper is to build an artificial neural network model to predict Global Solar Radiation (GSR) with improved accuracy using less number of best input parameters selected using sensitivity analysis. In this work, the input parameters used for training the artificial neural network (ANN) models are bright sunshine duration, maximum and minimum temperature, day length, months, extra terrestrial radiation (<em>H<sub>0</sub></em>), relative humidity and geographical parameters of the locations namely the latitude and longitude. Sensitivity analysis is used to discover how the output data are influenced by the changeability of the input data.Three ANN models namely   T-ANN, S-ANN and TS-ANN are proposed with most suitable input parameters selected using sensitivity analysis. The principle of this feature selection using sensitivity analysis is to improve the prediction accuracy of solar radiation models with less number of inputs. The proposed ANN model is also tested under noisy data and proved that ANN is able to perform reasonably good in GSR prediction on practical applications where the data is affected by noise caused by errors on measuring, fault of data acquisition system, recording problems, and so on.</p>

AbstractThe well-known fact of metallurgy is that the lifetime of a metal structure depends on the material's corrosion rate. Therefore, applying an appropriate prediction of corrosion process for the manufactured metals or alloys trigger an extended life of the product. At present, the current prediction models for additive manufactured alloys are either complicated or built on a restricted basis towards corrosion depletion. This paper presents a novel approach to estimate the corrosion rate and corrosion potential prediction by considering significant major parameters such as solution time, aging time, aging temperature, and corrosion test time. The Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS), which is an additive manufacturing process used in the manufacturing of health care equipment, was investigated in the present research. All the accumulated information used to manufacture the LENS-based Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy was considered from previous literature. They enabled to create a robust Bayesian Regularization (BR)-based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in order to predict with accuracy the material best corrosion properties. The achieved data were validated by investigating its experimental behavior. It was found a very good agreement between the predicted values generated with the BRANN model and experimental values. The robustness of the proposed approach allows to implement the manufactured materials successfully in the biomedical implants.
