Numerical Analysis of Measuring Transparent Medium Thickness in Photovoltaic Panels Using Michelson Interferometer Based on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Abstract With the advancement of society, renewable energy has garnered increasing attention, and solar energy has become a focal point of contemporary research. Enhancing the efficiency of solar energy utilization has emerged as a critical research topic, with the thickness of the transparent medium on solar photovoltaic panels playing a significant role in solar energy utilization. This study will employ both the Michelson interferometer and the micrometer to measure the transparent medium, and the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm will be utilized to evaluate these two methods, aiming to obtain more accurate measurement data.
