PARAMETERS EXTRACTION OF A SINGLE DIODE SOLAR CELL MODEL USING BAT ALGORITHM, FIREFLY ALGORITHM & CUCKOO SEARCH OPTIMIZATION.

Estimation of a highly accurate model for photovoltaic (PV) modules and solar cells from experimental data is an important task for researchers for the simulation, evaluation and design of Photovoltaic systems. In this paper, we propose three optimization techniques for the portrayal of the comparable electrical model of photovoltaic cell. The models with three, four and parameters, separately are considered. The Bat Algorithm (BA), Cuckoo search optimization (CSO) and Firefly Algorithm (FA) are utilized as an optimization tool for the extraction of the model parameters by arriving at the worldwide least arrangement in a brief span with an excellent exactness dependent on the minimization of the quadratic error among exploratory and hypothetical attributes. The reproduction results show that the proposed methodology is compelling for displaying the single model RTC cell just as the module. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
