Parameters Extraction of Single and Double Diode Model Using the Flower Algorithm

摘要

The photovoltaic (PV) module has several models in the literature, the popular ones are the single and double diode models. As well as, these two models possesses five and seven parameters respectively, therefore these parameters must be defined. In this paper, the flower algorithm is used to extract the optimal parameters values of both models. The purpose of this algorithm is to find the optimal reproduction of the plants species by the transfer of pollen which is considered as an optimization process. Experimental validation was carried out by comparing the simulation results with measured data, this data represents a measurement campaign of I-V curves for the three most used technologies in the photovoltaic market in order to test and validate the both models.
