Neural Network Training By Gradient Descent Algorithms: Application on the Solar Cell

Abstract

This present paper deals with the parameter determination of solar cell by using an artificial neural network trained at every time, separately, by one algorithm among the optimization algorithms of gradient descent (Levenberg-Marquardt, Gauss-Newton, Quasi-Newton, steepest descent and conjugate gradient). This determination issue is made for different values of temperature and irradiance. The training process is insured by the minimization of the error generated at the network output. Therefore, from the outcomes obtained by each gradient descent algorithm, we conducted a comparative study between the overall of training algorithms in order to know which one had the best performances. As a result the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm presents the best potential compared to the other investigated optimization algorithms of gradient descent
