Abstract
Optimal estimation of the intrinsic parameters of photovoltaic cells requires the use of meta-heuristics to increase their efficiency. This paper highlights the estimation of unknown parameters of a PV cell and module. For this purpose, the meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based on the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) principle is used. The simulation results via MATLAB prove that this algorithm has a good convergence. Indeed, the root mean square error (RMSE) is 9.8602×10-4, 9.8602×10-4, 2.4251×10-3, 1.7298×10-3 and 1.6783×10-2 for the single diode, dual diode, Photowatt-PWP201, Schutten Solar STM6-40/36 and the STP6-120/36 module respectively. Furthermore, the curves representing the current-voltage and power-voltage characteristics of the calculated unknown parameters versus those of the practical data measured from a PV cell/module datasheet coincide. The proposed algorithm can therefore be classified in the literature as one of the optimal parameter extraction techniques.Keywords
