Solar radiation prediction in Nigeria

What is it about?

In this paper, the accuracy of soft computing technique (support vector regression ) in solar radiation prediction based on series of measured meteorological data (monthly mean sunshine duration, monthly mean maximum and minimum temperature) taking from Iseyin meteorological station in Nigeria was examined.

Why is it important?

Long-term knowledge of solar insolation incident on earth’s surface at any particular locations is essential for its application such as agricultural, hydrological, ecological as well as electricity production. In electricity production, it is needed in designing and prediction of energy output of solar conversion system.
