Solar radiation Prediction Cameroon # MASTER PROJECT BY Ing. Tedom Noutchogouin Donald ## Prediction of Daily Global Solar Radiation using Different Machine Learning Algorithms: Evaluation and Comparison ### Dataset for the 10 Region of Cameroon FROM 1980 TO 2020 - **Source:** Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA), version 2 - **Provider:** National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) / Goddard Space Flight Center - **More Information:** MERRA-2 - **Site Latitude (Positive means North):** 5.476 - **Site Longitude (Positive means East):** 10.422 - **Site Altitude (m):** 1151 - **Date Beginning:** 1980-01-01 - **Date End:** 2020-12-31 - **Time Reference (Hour):** UT - **Summarization (Period of Integration):** Hour (h) - **Date - Instant:** The date or instant given for each value corresponds to the end of the summarization #### Columns: 1. **Temperature (K):** Temperature at 2 m above ground 2. **Relative Humidity (%):** Relative humidity at 2 m above ground 3. **Pressure (hPa):** Pressure at ground level 4. **Wind Speed (m/s):** Wind speed at 10 m above ground 5. **Wind Direction (deg):** Wind direction at 10 m above ground (0 means from North, 90 from East...) 6. **Rainfall (kg/m2):** Rainfall (= rain depth in mm) 7. **Snowfall (kg/m2):** Snowfall 8. **Snow Depth (m):** Snow depth 9. **Short-wave Irradiation (Wh/m2):** Surface incoming shortwave irradiation (broadband) - **MERRA-2 Meteorological Data** ## Bafoussam Matrix correlation ## Bafoussam Predicted vs mesured irradiation ## Maroua Matrix correlation ## Maroua Predicted vs mesured irradiation ## Buea Matrix correlation ## Buea Predicted vs mesured irradiation
