Abstract

Abstract Accurate parameter identification is crucial for a precise PV cell modelling and analysis of characteristics of PV systems, while high nonlinearity of output I-V curve makes this problem extremely thorny. Hence, a large number of researches have aroused extensive interests in the past few years. Due to the rapid advancement of computer technology and swarm intelligence, various promising meta-heuristic algorithms have been proposed to further accelerate this trend. This paper aims to undertake a comprehensive review on meta-heuristic algorithms and related variants which have been applied on PV cell parameter identification. Particularly, these algorithms are classified into four categories, e.g., biology-based algorithms, physics-based algorithms, sociology-based algorithms and mathematics-based algorithms. Meanwhile, the evaluation criteria and identification performance of each algorithm are thoroughly addressed. Besides, in order to quantitatively evaluate and compare various algorithms, the identified PV parameters including the specific error and the simulated output I-V or P-V curves are provided at the end of each algorithm. Moreover, a comprehensive summary is also introduced to more specifically guide the readers to grasp and utilize these approaches. Lastly, based on the covered twenty-eight algorithms, conclusion presents some perspectives and recommendations for future development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
