An Improved Black-Winged Kite Algorithm for High-Accuracy Parameter Identification of a Photovoltaic Double Diode Model
This study proposes an improved Black-Winged Kite Algorithm (SRQ-BKA) for accurate parameter identification of the photovoltaic (PV) double diode model (DDM). The proposed method integrates three key mechanisms: specular reflection learning (SRL) to improve initial population diversity, preventing premature convergence and enabling a more comprehensive exploration of the solution space for optimal parameters; soft rime search (SRS) to balance global exploration and local exploitation, ensuring efficient identification by dynamically adjusting the search focus; and quadratic interpolation (QI) to accelerate convergence by fine-tuning the search toward optimal parameters, enhancing accuracy and speeding up the identification process. The root mean square error (RMSE) is employed as the objective function to minimize the error between the measured and predicted I-V characteristics of the PV module. Experimental results demonstrate that the SRQ-BKA outperforms other algorithms, achieving a minimum RMSE of 0.00262 A for the DDM and exhibiting strong stability, as evidenced by an average RMSE of 0.00278 A across 1000 runs. The method also demonstrates excellent parameter identification accuracy for both the single diode model (SDM) and triple diode model (TDM), further validating its robustness and practical applicability.
