Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Approach for Solar Radiation Forecasting in Cyclone Ravaged Indian Cities: A Review

The measurement of solar radiation and its forecasting at any particular location is a difficult task as it depends on various input parameters. So, intelligent modeling approaches with advanced techniques are always necessary for this challenging activity. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system ((Formula presented.)) based on modeling plays a vital role in the selection of relevant input parameters for undertaking precise solar radiation prediction. Numerous literature works focusing on ANFIS-based techniques have been reviewed during the estimation of solar energy incidents in the eastern part of India. During solar forecasting, the input parameters considered for this model are the duration of the sunshine, temperature, and humidity whereas the clearness index value has been considered as an output parameter for calculation. For designing the model, practical data sets have been prepared for some specified locations. Finally, the outcome is compared with several other techniques. During this course of analysis, several studies have been reviewed for a comprehensive literature survey work.
