Estimation of parameters for one diode solar PV cell using grey wolf optimizer to obtain exact V-I characteristics

Abstract

This article introduces an adequate method to estimate the unknown parameters of one diode PV cell. Considering this scheme, actual estimation of parameters which are unknown is identified by objective function minimization by employing eminent adequate grey wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm. Mentioned (GWO) algorithm is implemented for estimation of parameter to one diode PV cell and tabulation results are correlated with others, by recent advance memetic algorithm, cuckoo search, pattern search, simulated annealing, particle swarm optimization, and genetic algorithm. Experimental data and simulation results depict that GWO algorithm is adequate to accomplish all the parameter by great accuracy. This GWO algorithm outperforms previous algorithms correlated in this consideration.
