Simulation experiments were conducted with many possible combinations of design changes to calculate cell performance measures, and thus generate training pairs for a neural network. Three different static neural network structures have been trained using the above data. Comparison of neural network efficiency and computational effort required is made through a case study, for every neural network architecture.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Computers in Industry361-2133-138 Christodoulou Manolis Χριστοδουλου Μανωλης Gaganis Vasileios Γαγανης Βασιλειος Elsevier Artificial neural networks Nets, Neural (Computer science) Networks, Neural (Computer science) Neural nets (Computer science) neural networks computer science artificial neural networks nets neural computer science networks neural computer science neural nets computer science Manufacturing engineering Process engineering production engineering manufacturing engineering process engineering
