Parameter Extraction of PV Module using CamWOA Technique

Abstract

In this work, a novel parameter extraction technique for Photo Voltaic module known as Cosine Adapted Modified Whale Optmisation Algorithm is presented. For correct mathematical modeling and for further analysis, correct parameter estimation is necessary. Many parameter extraction techniques have been reported in literature. Still many more techniques that are capable of extracting global optimized parameter during varying weather states are required to explore in varying weather conditions. Cam WOA technique is the modified form of Whale Optimisation Technique. In this work a novel parameter extraction technique based on CamWOA is proposed for parameter extraction. The proposed Hybrid BESAS Technique is tested on PV module and also in different weather condition. The effect of these extracted parameter on PV module performance is also discussed. From the analysis of simulation results it is found that the proposed Cam Woabased parameter extraction scheme is more accurate as compared to WOA technique.
