<div> <p>Wind Energy is one of the important sources of renewable energy. There is a need to prepare the availability of wind energy in the area where there is no measured wind speed data. For this type of situation, it seems to be necessary to predict the wind energy potential using such as wind speed using artificial neural network (ANN) method. Soft computing techniques are widely used now days in the study of wind energy potential estimation. In this study the wind energy potential between neighborhood meteorological tower stations is predicted using Artificial Neural Network technique. One of the most suitable areas of Tamil Nadu for wind power generation is some locations in the districts of Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Kanyakumari, Theni, Coimbatore, and Dindigul. Along the southeast coastline of Tamil Nadu there are no valleys and mountains besides the mountains are situated away from the sea coast in many regions. Therefore, these regions are exposed to northerly winds that are not as strong as the southerly winds.</p> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p>

The purpose of this study is to improve the control performance of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) in a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) by using both of the conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based controllers. The rotor-side converter (RSC) voltages are controlled using a stator flux oriented control (FOC) to achieve an independent control of the active and reactive powers, exchanged between the stator of the DFIG and the power grid. Afterward, the PI controllers of the FOC are replaced with two ANN based controllers. A Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control strategy is necessary in order to extract the maximum power from the of wind energy system. A simulation model was carried out in MATLAB environment under different scenarios. The obtained results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed ANN control strategy.

Wind energy is one of the abundant, cheap and fast-growing renewable energy sources whose intensive extraction potential is still in immature stage in India. This study aims at the determination and evaluation of wind energy potential of three cities located at different elevations in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The historical records of wind speed, direction, temperature and pressure were collected for three South Indian cities, namely Chennai, Erode and Coimbatore over a period of 38 years (1980-2017). The mean wind power density was observed to be highest at Chennai (129 W/m2) and lowest at Erode (76 W/m2) and the corresponding mean energy content was highest for Chennai (1129 kWh/m2/year) and lowest at Erode (666 kWh/m2/year). Considering the events of high energy-carrying winds at Chennai, Erode and Coimbatore, maximum wind power density were estimated to be 185 W/m2, 190 W/m2 and 234 W/m2, respectively. The annual average net energy yield and annual average net capacity factor were selected as the representative parameters for expressing strategic wind energy potential at geographically distinct locations having significant variation in wind speed distribution. Based on the analysis, Chennai is found to be the most suitable site for wind energy production followed by Coimbatore and Erode.

In&nbsp; the present study, a hybrid&nbsp; optimizing algorithm has been proposed using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to improve the estimation of&nbsp; electricity demand of&nbsp; the state of Tamil Nadu in India. The GA-PSO model optimizes &nbsp;the coefficients of factors of&nbsp; gross state domestic product (GSDP), per capita demand, income and &nbsp;consumer price index (CPI) that affect the electricity demand. Based on historical data of 25 years from 1991 till 2015 , the simulation results of GA-PSO models &nbsp;are having greater accuracy and reliability than single optimization methods based on either PSO or GA. The forecasting results of ANN-GA-PSO are better than models based on single optimization such as &nbsp;ANN-BP, ANN-GA, ANN-PSO models. Further &nbsp;the paper also forecasts the electricity demand of Tamil Nadu&nbsp; based on two scenarios. First scenario is the "as-it-is" scenario , the second scenario&nbsp; is based on milestones set for achieving goals of "Vision 2023" document for the state. The present research also explores the causality between the economic growth and electricity demand in case of Tamil Nadu. The research indicates that the direct causality exists between&nbsp; GSDP and the electricity demand of the state.

Based on historical data of 25 years from 1991 till 2015 , the simulation results of GA-PSO models are having greater accuracy and reliability than single optimization methods based on either PSO or GA.

This paper presents the preliminary results of setting up an artificial neural network (ANN) of the feed forward type with the backpropagation training method for forecast wind speed in the region in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, Mexico. The database used covers the years from June 2008 - November 2011, and was supplied by a meteorological station located at the Isthmus University campus Tehuantepec. The experiments were done using the following variables: wind speed, pressure, temperature and date. At the same time were done seven tests combining these variables, comparing their mean square error (MSE) and coefficient correlation r, with data the predicting and experimental. In this research, is proposed a ANN of two hidden layers, for a forecast of 48 hours.


Land value can be an important factor which influences the cost of construction on working in the project. The land has socio-economic and environmental values and the confronted problems on land involves the increasing costs for developing the land such as built up, agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial areas. Hence this paper concentrates on prediction of land value by considering some important factors that affects it. The study area has been selected under Tirupur district, being a developing one in Tamil Nadu. The eleven areas in four different taluks under Tirupur district were chosen for research work. The average values of monthly variation are taken for the chosen factor for the years from 2001 to 2017. Using regression analysis and artificial neural network, the prediction has been done for the future land value. The performance of both the model executed good and fit for forecasting results. Though both the model showed better results, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) showed accuracy than regression method.

In recent years, Indonesia needs import million tons of salt to satisfy domestic industries demand. The production of salt in Indonesia is highly dependent on the weather. Therefore, this article aims to develop a prediction model by examining rainfall, humidity and wind speed data to estimate salt production. In this research, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method is used to develop a model based on data collected from Kaliumenet Sumenep Madura.  The model analysis uses the full experimental factorial design to determine the effect of the ANN parameter differences. Then, the selected model performance compared with the estimate predictor of Holt-Winters. The results present that ANN-based models are more accurate and efficient for predicting salt field productivity.
