Abstract

A reliable methodology is essential for accurately estimating the parameters of PV models, enabling reliable performance evaluations, effective control studies, accurate analysis of partial shading effects, and optimal optimization of Photovoltaic (PV) systems. It ensures that the obtained parameters reflect the true characteristics of the PV system, leading to more accurate and reliable results in various applications. The existing literature extensively explores the utilization of powerful Metaheuristic Algorithms (MAs) to address the complex constrained optimization problem in PV systems and achieve optimal solutions. However, it is important to note that a significant portion of these MAs primarily concentrates on the development of methodologies, often overlooking the design of the objective function tailored for PV systems. This oversight has created a theoretical gap in this research domain, underscoring the necessity for additional exploration and investigation to address this limitation. To address the existing theoretical gap, this study focused on developing an objective function that accurately estimates the initial root parameters of Photovoltaic (PV) models. This objective function was designed by incorporating the first-order Berndt-Hall-Hall-Hausman (BHHH) numerical method, along with the non-linear damping parameter of the Levenberg-Marquardt technique (LM). By implementing this approach, the study aimed to significantly improve the precision and reliability of estimating the initial root parameters in PV models, effectively filling the theoretical void in this specific research area. Then in terms of methodology, the Enhanced Henry Gas Solubility Optimization (EHGSO) algorithm is combined with the Sine-Cosine mutualism phase of Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) for efficiently estimating the unknown parameters of PV models. The keystone of EHGSO in terms of methodology enhances exploration at the beginning of optimization and intensifies exploitation in later iterations. The proposed EHGSO methodology based on the adaptive damping BHHH technique (EHGSOAdBHHH) is tested on Single Diode (SD), and Double Diode (DD) PV models using actual experimental data. EHGSOAdBHHH exhibits outstanding accordance with attained experimental data compared with other algorithms, and its superiority is validated using several statistical criteria.
