Abstract


Effective parameter estimation for photovoltaic (PV) systems holds significant importance for both researchers and industry professionals. An accurate understanding of PV models, achieved through modeling and simulation, plays a pivotal role in optimizing the design, control, testing, and forecasting of PV system performance. Developing a precise and robust parameter identification method significantly contributes to enhancing the modeling, control, and optimization of photovoltaic systems. In this context, our research contribution introduces a novel version of Rao metaheuristic algorithm named the Fully Informed Search Algorithm (FISA). Which demonstrate acceptable performance to solving optimization problems in several applied fields. While, maintaining the simplicity and non-parametric nature of the original algorithm. The proposed algorithm holds promise for various industrial applications, particularly in optimizing complex systems such as photovoltaic (PV) systems. For which, we used it to efficiently identifying the parameters of the single-diode model (SDM). Thus, we demonstrate its effectiveness through the application in two distinct case studies within our simulation research. in the end, we compared the results of FISA algorithm to seven other well-known algorithms, the obtained results indicate the superiority of the proposed algorithm in term of the stability of the system, a faster convergence and higher accuracy.
