Parameter Estimation of a Solar Module by Wild Horse Optimizer

Photovoltaic (PV) modules are composed of several PVcells that are basically characterized as circuits, such as the single diode model (SDM), double diode model (DDM), and triple diode model (TDM). Parameter estimation of the PV cell model is significant to enhance the efficiency of the PV system. In this article, for the estimation of PV cell parameters a metaheuristics technique is presented. The authors provide a framework for estimating PV module parameters based on a recent metaheuristic known as the wild horse optimizer (WHO). The results so obtained demonstrated that this framework based on WHO is effective for “PV cell circuit model parameter estimation problem.”
