摘      要：Energy lost due to shadow in the absorber plate of solar collectors can decrease the solar energy *** some studies,mathematical modeling was applied for calculating the energy gain reduction due to shadow in flatplate solar *** this study,ANN method was developed for modeling the energy gain *** Perceptron(MLP)with one hidden layer and a range of neurons(5–30)by two training algorithms(LM and BR)and tangent sigmoid activation function(TanSig)were used by help of K-fold cross validation *** the first section,six set of solar collector dimensions were used(1×1;1×1.5;1×2;1.5×1.5;1.5×2 and 2×2).In the second section all the range of dimensions were used as the *** results of the first section showed thatMLPwith BR training algorithm can predict the energy gain reductionwith minimumMAPE and RMSE in all the *** best results related to(1.5×1.5)dimension that achieved a MAPE of 0.15±0.09%and RMASE of 4.42±2.43 KJm−2 year−1,*** results of the second section indicated that BR is a better training algorithm than *** MAPE and R2 factors for the best topology(5-27-1)were 0.0610±0.0051%and 0.9999±0.0001,*** results of the sensitivity analysis showed that height has the biggest impact on total energy gain reduction due to shadow in flat-plate solar ***,the results of this study indicated that by using ANN and decrease the energy lost,the efficiency of solar collectors can be increased in all applications such as industry and agriculture.
