Comparative Parameter Estimation of Single Diode PV-Cell Model by Using Sine-Cosine Algorithm and Whale Optimization Algorithm

The share of photovoltaic energy systems in electricity production is increasing day by day. Photovoltaic systems are typically modeled as PV-cell circuit when using in power system analysis. The selection of the parameters used in the model is crucial because how close the model outputs are to reality depends on true estimation of these parameters. These parameters are also important for efficiency and maximum power tracking. Due to the increase in electricity generation with solar energy, the problem of estimation of these parameters has become a widely studied subject in recent years. In this study, the parameters of PV-cell are estimated using Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Sine-Cosine Algorithm (SCA) and compared with the related literature.
