Abstract

This paper presents the simulation and the implementation of a model of a neural network applied to a multiagent system by using the Neuroph framework. This tool enables several tests to be carried out and verify which structure is the best structure of our neural network for a specific application. In our case, we simulated the neural network for a sun-tracking control system in a solar farm. Initial implementation shows good results in performance, thereby providing an alternative to traditional solar-tracking systems.
