Abstract
Accurately modeling solar photovoltaic (PV) systems requires extracting a set of unknown parameters, it is a complex, nonlinear optimization problem involving multiple variables. This study introduces six targeted modifications to the improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA), designed to enhance its efficiency and reliability. By incorporating a blend of algebraic and transcendental functions, these modifications improve the algorithm’s ability to balance exploration and exploitation. Performance was evaluated through ten benchmark functions, with results analyzed statistically. The enhanced algorithm was then applied to estimate nine unknown parameters in the three-diode PV model, known for its high accuracy in simulating real PV behavior. Validation against real-world data from commercial PV modules, such as the KC200GT and MSX-60, demonstrated that the modified IWOA can generate highly precise models. The results confirm the algorithm’s potential as a practical and robust tool for PV system modeling.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on all aspects of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. This includes optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects, as well as research on the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details. The related areas of energy conversion/storage and of molecular and biological systems, in which the thrust is on the charge transport, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, are also covered.
In particular, we encourage manuscripts dealing with device simulation; with optical and optoelectronic systems and photonics; with energy storage (e.g. batteries, fuel cells) and harvesting (e.g. photovoltaic), with simulation of circuits, VLSI layout, logic and architecture (based on, for example, CMOS devices, quantum-cellular automata, QBITs, or single-electron transistors); with electromagnetic simulations (such as microwave electronics and components); or with molecular and biological systems. However, in all these cases, the submitted manuscripts should explicitly address the electronic properties of the relevant systems, materials, or devices and/or present novel contributions to the physical models, computational strategies, or numerical algorithms.
