Abstract
The sun’s global radiation is a crucial aspect for evaluating the radiation of sun, as it gives the entire solar availability at a given place and can be calculated by the equipment. However, it is unfeasible to measure solar radiation in many areas due to maintenance and high price of the equipment used for measurement. Unfortunately, every place can’t spare the price for the equipment attributable to the above factors. Hence, empirical models were established as a substitute to roughly calculate the data. This work is to compare the empirical models and find the suitable one to approximate the global monthly sun’s radiation on parallel plane surfaces in the city, Visakhapatnam. The value of measured global solar radiance data facilitates the approximation of global radiation. And the execution of the empirical models is assessed using statistical error tests and in the end following the observations, it’s declared that ANN model was reliable and accurate.
