Prediction of water flow rate in a photovoltaic water pumping system (PVWPS) is of high importance for investors who wish to achieve an efficient management of water demand in remote and desert areas. In this paper, different prediction methods based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have...

This paper presents a comparative study between Bayesian Neural Network (BNN), classical Neural Network (NN) and empirical models for estimating the daily global solar irradiation (DGSR). An experimental meteorological database from 1998 to 2002 at Al-Madinah (Saudi Arabia) has been used. Four...
