    Abstract: In this paper, a study of two least square error approaches for optimizing Erceg pathloss model is presented. The first approach is implemented by the addition of the root mean square error (RMSE) if the sum of prediction errors is positive otherwise, the RMSE is subtracted from the pathloss predicted by the original Erceg model. In the second meth... Show More

    Abstract: Determination of optimal tilt angle for seasonally adjusted flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) modules based on Perez transposition model is presented. Particularly, two seasons are considered, namely winter and summer. As such, two optimal tilt angles are obtained which requires that the tilt angle the of flat plate PV module will be adjusted twice in a... Show More
