Parameter Identification of Solar Photovoltaic Systems Using an Augmented Subtraction-Average-Based Optimizer

Abstract

Solar photovoltaic system parameter identification is crucial for effective performance management, design, and modeling of solar panel systems. This work presents the Subtraction-Average-Based Algorithm (SABA), a unique, enhanced evolutionary approach for solving optimization problems. The conventional SABA works by subtracting the mean of searching solutions from the position of those in the population in the area of search. In order to increase the search capabilities, this work proposes an Augmented SABA (ASABA) that incorporates a method of collaborative learning based on the best solution. In accordance with manufacturing, the suggested ASABA is used to effectively estimate Photovoltaic (PV) characteristics for two distinct solar PV modules, RTC France and Kyocera KC200GT PV modules. Through the adoption of the ASABA approach, the simulation findings improve the electrical characteristics of PV systems. The suggested ASABA outperforms the regular SABA in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. For the R.T.C France PV system, the suggested ASABA approach outperforms the traditional SABA technique by 90.1% and 87.8 for the single- and double-diode models, respectively. Also, for the Kyocera KC200GT PV systems, the suggested ASABA approach outperforms the traditional SABA technique by 99.1% and 99.6 for the single- and double-diode models, respectively. Furthermore, the suggested ASABA method is quantitatively superior to different current optimization algorithms.
