Öğe Estimation of solar potential in Turkey by artificial neural networks using meteorological and geographical data(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004) Sozen, A; Arcaklioglu, E; Ozalp, MTurkey is located at the Mediterranean at 36degrees and 42degrees N latitudes and has a typical Mediterranean climate. The solar energy potential is very high in Turkey. The yearly average solar radiation is 3.6 kW h/m(2) day, and the total yearly radiation period is similar to2610 h. This study consists of two cases. Firstly, the main focus of this study is to put forward the solar energy potential in Turkey using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Secondly, in this study, the best approach was investigated for each station by using different learning algorithms and a logistic sigmoid transfer function in the neural network with developed software. In order to train the neural network, meteorological data for last three years (2000-2002) from 17 stations (Ankara, Samsun, Edirne, Istanbul-Goztepe, Van, Izmir, Denizli, Sanliurfa, Mersin, Adana, Gaziantep, Aydin, Bursa, Diyarbakir, Yozgat, Antalya and Mugla) spread over Turkey were used as training (11 stations) and testing (6 stations) data. Meteorological and geographical data (latitude, longitude, altitude, month, mean sunshine duration and mean temperature) are used in the input layer of the network. Solar radiation is in the output layer. The maximum mean absolute percentage error was found to be less than 6.735% and R-2 values were found to be about 99.893% for the testing stations. However, these values were found to be 4.398% and 99.965% for the training stations. The trained and tested ANN models show greater accuracy for evaluating the solar resource possibilities in regions where a network of monitoring stations has not been established in Turkey. The predicted solar potential values from the ANN are given in the form of monthly maps. These maps are of prime importance for different working disciplines, like scientists, architects, meteorologists and solar engineers, in Turkey. The predictions from the ANN models could enable scientists to locate and design solar energy systems in Turkey and determine the best solar technology. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

The back-propagation learning algorithm with three different variants and logistic sigmoid transfer function were used in the network. In order to train the neural network, limited experimental measurements were used as training and test data. In input layer, there are temperatures in the range of 298-498 K (with 25 K increase), pressures (0.1-40 MPa) and concentrations of 2, 7, and 12% of the couples; specific volume is in output layer. After training, it is found that maximum error is less than 3%, average error is about 1% and R-2 values are 99.999%. As seen from the results obtained the thermodynamic properties have been obviously predicted within acceptable errors. This paper shows that values predicted with ANN can be used to define the thermodynamic properties instead of approximate and complex analytic equations. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

The main advantages of solar assisted refrigeration systems concern the reduction of peak loads for electricity utilities, the use of zero ozone depletion impact refrigerants, the decreased primary energy consumption and decreased global warming impact. The main focus of this study is to investigate usage possibility of ejector-absorption cooling system (EACS) in Turkey. This study determines whether or not required heat for generator of EACS can be obtained from solar energy in Turkey. There are two important reasons for the utilisation of EACSs in Turkey. One of them is that the production and use of the CFCs and HCFCs will be phased out in a few years according to Montreal Protocol, adopted in 1987. The other is that Turkey has high solar energy potential because of its location in the northern hemisphere with latitudes 3642 degreesN and longitudes 26-45 degreesE and the yearly average solar radiation is 3.6 kW h/m(2) day, and the total yearly radiation period is similar to2610 h. For analysis, 17 cities were selected in different regions of Turkey in which the radiation data and sunshine duration information have been collected since 2000. By using the meteorological data, it was aimed that required optimum collector surface area for maximum coefficient of performance (COPmax) conditions of EACSs operated with aqua-ammonia was defined. In addition, required minimum energy for auxiliary heater was calculated so that the system can be used throughout the year. It was found that the heat gain factor (HGF) varies in the range from 0.5 to 2.68 for the all the seasons in the selected cities. The maximum HGF of about 2.68 was obtained for Van in July. This study shows that there is a great potential for utilisation of solar cooling system for domestic heating/cooling applications in Turkey. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

The yearly average solar-radiation is 3.6 kWh/m(2) day, and the total yearly radiation period is similar to2610 h. The main focus of this study is to determine the solar-energy potential in Turkey using artificial neural-networks (ANNs). Scaled conjugate gradient (SCG), Pola-Ribiere conjugate gradient (CGP), and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) learning algorithms and a logistic sigmoid transfer function were used in the network. In order to train the neural network, meteorological data for the last 3 years (2000-2002) from 17 stations (namely cities) spread over Turkey were used as training (11 stations) and testing (6 stations) data. Meteorological and geographical data (latitude, longitude, altitude, month, mean sunshine duration, and mean temperature) are used as inputs to the network. Solar radiation is in the output layer. The maximum mean absolute percentage error was found to be less than 6.7% and R-2 values to be about 99.8937% for the testing stations. However, the respective values were found to be 2.41 and 99.99658% for the training stations. The trained and tested ANN models show greater accuracies for evaluating solar resource possibilities in regions where a network of monitoring stations has not been established in Turkey. The predicted solar-potential values from the ANN were given in the form of monthly maps. These maps are of prime importance for different working disciplines, like those of scientists, architects, meteorologists, and solar engineers in Turkey. The predictions from ANN models could enable scientists to locate and design solar-energy systems in Turkey and determine the appropriate solar technology. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
