Estimating the maximum power of a High Concentrator Photovoltaic (HCPV) module using an Artificial Neural Network

► Estimating the output of an HCPV module, due to its special features, is a very complex task. ► The aim is to develop an ANN to predict the maximum power (Pmax) of an HCPV module. ► For achieving this, an HCPV module have been measured for a year in the south of Spain. ► The ANN developed can be used to estimate Pmax of an HCPV module with an acceptable error. ► This model could be extended to other modules and other places following the structure proposed.
