Efficient parameter assessment of different-sized photovoltaic modules for performance evaluation

To date, investigations into extracting photovoltaic (PV) model parameters remain a prominent and enduring area of scholarly research. The literature provides several methodologies demonstrating substantial precision, complexity, and practical relevance divergence. This investigation introduces a metaheuristic strategy for retrieving the five parameters of the Single Diode Equivalent Model (SDM) applicable to photovoltaic modules characterized by varying cell sizes, quantities, and different PV technologies (including crystalline silicon and polycrystalline). This study has provided practical recommendations for designing innovative parameter extraction methodologies based on photovoltaic models, which are relevant for enhancing the efficiency of performance, control, detection, and diagnosis approaches for PV anomalies.
