Design and Implementation of Smell Agent Optimizer for Parameters Estimation of Single and Double Diode in PV System: A Comparative Analysis

One of the most important and desirable options for moving toward clean electric energy sources is solar energy. Therefore, a PV system's characteristics play a significant role in determining how effective it is across a range of temperature and radiation scenarios. One can consider the PV model's parameter estimation to be a nonlinear optimization situation. This work makes use of a novel application of the smell agent optimizer (SAO) created to forecast the undefined parameters of the PV model's single-and two-diode equivalent circuits. The goal of this effort is to create an accurate photovoltaic model that can accurately represent its performance under variable operating conditions. The square of the mean squared error between the actual measured curve and the current-voltage curve derived from the model defines the intended objective function. The suggested system is constructed and tested experimentally in a range of temperature and light conditions. Next, the MATLAB software is used to create the simulated PV model integrated with the SAO. The PV parameters are then predicted by comparing the experimental data with the convergence of the SAO based on the PV model. Based on the observed properties, the suggested approach for determining the parameters of an actual solar cell has been put into practice and contrasted with eight other optimization techniques. The outstanding efficacy of the method utilized compared with alternate methods is demonstrated by the statistical comparison of the ideal objective function resulting from the difference in the current-voltage curve produced from the optimized circuit model and the measurement.
