Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System modelling for performance prediction of solar thermal energy system

摘要

This study investigates in details the applicability of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) approach for predicting the performance parameters of a solar thermal energy system. Experiments were conducted on the system under a broad range of operating conditions during different Canadian seasons and weather conditions. The experimental data were used for developing the ANFIS network model. This later was then optimised and applied to predict various performance parameters of the system.
