Abstract

Accurate parameter identification plays an integral role in the modeling of an optimized solar module which in turn helps in the error-free prediction of its output. Five important parameters: the photoelectric current (I<subscript>ph</subscript>), ideality factor(α), saturation current (I<subscript>o</subscript>), series resistance (R<subscript>s</subscript>), and shunt resistance (R<subscript>sh</subscript>) are required for the accurate modeling of the PV cells/modules and need to be extracted as these parameters are not provided by the manufacturer in the datasheet. This paper proposes a new metaheuristic jellyfish optimization (JFO) algorithm for the parameter extraction of a solar module. The JFO algorithm achieves the optimal solution without being trapped in local solutions in less time. The parameter extraction using the JFO algorithm is done on two different solar modules i.e., Soltech-1STH-215P and PWP-201. The results are compared in terms of extracted parameters (I<subscript>ph</subscript>, α, I<subscript>o</subscript>, R<subscript>s,</subscript> and R<subscript>sh</subscript>) with the well-known optimization techniques like PSO, GA, and others available in the literature and with the manufacturer I–V and P–V characteristics. The proposed technique I–V and P–V characteristics are validated at different environmental conditions and are found to be similar to that of PSO and GA. It is also observed that the extracted parameters obtained using JFO are comparable with the other twenty-two techniques, and the proposed technique is one of the highly efficient techniques that can be utilized for parameter extraction of PV modules and to predict solar cell characteristics for all commercial modules without setting up any experimental measurements. MATLAB/simulation software is used for implementation and performance validation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
