Solar photovoltaic energy optimization methods, challenges and issues: A comprehensive review
Abstract
Abstract The implementation of renewable energy brings numerous advantages including reduction of power transmission cost and minimization of the global warming problems. The investigation of the influencing operational parameters as well as optimization of the solar energy system is the key factors to enhance the power conversion efficiency. The different optimization methods in solar energy applications have been utilized to improve performance efficiency. However, the development of optimal methods under the intermittent nature of solar energy resources remains key issues to be explored. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the main generic objectives of optimization in renewable energy systems, such as solar energy systems. Moreover, this study introduces the most recent intelligent optimization methods used in solar energy systems with regard to its functions, constraints, research gaps and contributions. From this review, it can be concluded that the main objectives of optimizations methods are to reduce minimize investment, operation and maintenance costs and emissions to enhance the system reliability. This review also outlines a brief discussion of various challenges and issues of solar energy optimization. Finally, the review delivers some effective future directions toward the development of an efficient and stable solar PV system.

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.
