I-GWO Algorithm Based Solar Photovoltaic Module Parameter Selection

This manuscript investigates the performance of a newly developed metaheuristic approach called Improved Grey Wolf optimizer (I-GWO) for determining optimal parameters of the solar photovoltaic (PV) model. A very much used poly-crystalline PV module is mathematically modeled with a single diode model for analysis purpose. The parameters of the equivalent designed model have been derived with the suggested algorithm. Multiple points have been considered from the PV module datasheet for the accurate system performance characteristics in forming objective function. In this paper, the complete results have been demonstrated with the single diode of three kinds of panels, are obtained by using the I-GWO algorithm.
