ABSTRACT
The accurate electrical modeling of photovoltaic (PV) module is vital due to extensive installation of PV power plants. Therefore, the scientists suggested a three-diode model (TDM) for precise modeling of PV losses. However, TDM is a complex and nonlinear model that contains nine unknown parameters. Besides, along with the error from the cell, the power obtained from the cell is also to be maximized. Hence, this chapter uses multi-objective optimization techniques with the help of metaheuristic algorithms for the estimation of parameters based on the datasheet provided by the manufacturer and using five different conditions as five objectives. This chapter utilizes the data from two commercial solar cells, and for the purpose of the validation of results, the current-voltage (IV) and PV curves of each cell are presented along with other statistical analysis, which have been done at various temperature and irradiance levels. Based on all the processes carried out as stated, the results revealed that the multi-objective is efficient enough and can be employed for the calculation of the parameters of any kind of commercial PV cells.
