Use \author{ Author Name \thanks{Affiliation} }

\documentclass[]{IEEEconf}


\begin{document}

    \title{Development of a Generalized PV Model in MATLAB/Simulink Using Datasheet Values}


\author{Al-Motasem I. Aldaoudeyeh
            \thanks{Al-Motasem I. Aldaoudeyeh is with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND, 58102 USA. email: almotasem.aldaoudeye@ndsu.edu}

\begin{abstract}

This paper proposes an improved single-diode modeling approach for PV modules suitable for a broad range of the PV technologies available today, including modules on tandem cell structures. After establishing the model (which has an overall of seven parameters), the paper devises a methodology to estimate its parameters using Standard Test Conditions (STC) data, Nominal Operating Cell Temperature (NOCT) data, and temperature coefficients values as provided in most manufacturers' datasheets. Simulation results and their comparison with a previous work show a very accurate prediction of critical points in the current-voltage characteristics curve. The precise prediction happens for both STC and NOCT conditions and the error in predicting maximum power point lies within $1\%$ limit, and the error in its corresponding voltage and current is almost always within $2\%$ limit. Further, for both maximum power point and open-circuit voltage, the statistical variance around manufacturer measurements due to temperature changes is demonstrated to be low for five various module technologies.

[Tex/LaTex] Problem with footnote in Title and author enviroment

Well, I do not know class mnras and I do not have a documentation of it. You gave no link to the class, but I guess you mean this one?.

If you have a look into the file mnras.cls you can find in the definition of command \maketitle in the line 1058: \let\thanks\relax. That means that this class does not allows command \thanks in the title.

The class you use is very restricted and I suggest to use a standard class, if you have not to submit an paper with that class.

Anyway, if you use this class you should take a look into the example file and follow the coments (saying: do not change this lines. That means too: Do not delete this lines).

The following MWE compiles with 4 warnings (two because the footnotes, two because the class has to be maintained):

\documentclass{mnras}%

\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{blindtext}

I added the parts you have deleted (see markings < ======= in the code) and tested a little bit. Theese tests showed me, that you are allowed to omit the abstract, but not the keywords. Comment the environment keywords and recompile. The \thanksfootnotes disapear. And the class does not want footnotes in the title.

The result of the MWE above is:

The class gives in the header the first and last line (see first red marking). Thats the reason why you are not allowed to delete/change the lines you did.

The other red markings shows the footnotes and their footnotemarks in text and title.

I suggest you call or contact the maintainer of this class or the journal asking you to use this class if you need to use it for your paper. Report the errors/problems you have and ask for a correction of the class ...

[Tex/LaTex] How to add different affiliation contents for one author

If you find a paper that looks the way you like, search for the LaTeX class offered by the corresponding journal/conference. These classes usually support what you want out of the box.

If you want to stay with the article class, you can do it like this.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd\maketitle{\@fnsymbol}{\@arabic}{}{}
\xpatchcmd\maketitle{\rlap}{}{}{}
\newcommand\corrauth[1]%
  {\def\@thefnmark{*}\@footnotemark
   \protected@xdef\@thanks{\@thanks\protect \corrauthtext{#1}}%
  }
\newcommand\corrauthtext{\def\@thefnmark{*}\@footnotetext}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\title{The Title}
\author
  {A.~U.~Thor\thanks{Address 1}
   \and
   A.~Uthor%
   \footnotemark[1]\textsuperscript{,}\corrauth{email}%
  }
\date{}
\maketitle
\end{document}
