Comparative Analysis of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Extracting Electrical Parameters of PV Modules

This paper presents a comparison of various metaheuristic algorithms used for extracting electrical parameters from specific photovoltaic (PV) panels. The focus lies on assessing and comparing the efficiency of eight chosen algorithms in precisely deriving electrical parameters from PV modules, selected for their novelty and widespread use. The ODM mathematical model was utilized due to its exceptional precision and simplicity to accomplish this aim. Next, a series of simulations were executed to establish the optimal electrical parameters with the best root mean square (RMS) values for each algorithm. The resulting dataset from these simulations was then analysed and compared to draw the final conclusions. The primary goal of this comparative analysis is to obtain valuable knowledge about the abilities of various new Metaheuristic algorithms in determining the electrical parameters of photovoltaic modules.
