The most common methods are radial basis function neural network (RBF), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system neural network (ANFIS) and three layered feed-forward neural network (TFFN). These ANN methods are recognized with simple computational techniques and high pattern recognition capabilities to deal with non-linear characteristic and intermittent output of PV system. However, there still might be strong and weak points for these methods during the optimization process. Since the characteristic of crystalline Silicon PV modules technology is almost similar, it is possible to select a single prominent ANN structure for identification the optimum points of this type solar cell technology. The paper discusses the most suitable ANN structure for estimation the MPP crystalline Silicon PV modules through their optimum operating voltages. To reach this objective, the ANN models have been trained and verified for multi-crystalline Silicon based edge defined film-fed growth (EFG) and wafer solar cell technologies, mono-crystalline Silicon and thin-film Silicon solar cell technologies. Then, the performance of ANN models is compared with hill-climbing (HC) based MPPT technique in terms of tracking the MPP voltage and the energy index. ## Keywords - Crystalline silicon - Artificial neural network - Photovoltaic system - Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system - Solar cell - Computer science - Silicon - Monocrystalline silicon - Wafer - Voltage - Control theory (sociology) - Electronic engineering - Artificial intelligence - Materials science - Fuzzy logic - Engineering - Fuzzy control system - Optoelectronics - Electrical engineering - Control (management) --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
