Porosity optimization of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell using Particle Swarm Optimization Technique

Abstract

The porosity optimization of the Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) has studied in this paper to achieve maximum power output. Current-voltage characteristics for a range of porosity value obtained from the implemented Particle Swarm Optimization technique for optimal porosity. The Power (PW)-Voltage (V) and Current (I)-Voltage (V) curve acquired from the diffusion model of DSSC which are identical with the PW-V, I-V curve available in the literature. The proposed approach adds a new extent of the range of porosity value, which helps to get maximum power output from the cell, where parameters have kept constant to analyze the model beside porosity.
