Abstract

This study proposed an enhanced slime mould algorithm (ESMA) for identifying the solar cells’ parameters for five photovoltaic (PV) models, making two modifications to the original slime mould algorithm (SMA). The first modification was an arbitrary average position among the new individual position of slime and the best individual position of the slime mound currently found to resolve the issue of local optimum. Second, the tangent hyperbolical function of the formula p in the original SMA was replaced with an exponential function to create more variations for selecting the updated equation. The proposed ESMA was used to resolve the problem of estimating PV parameters based on the empirical current-voltage (I-V) data. Specifically, ESMA was evaluated on the parameter estimation in several photovoltaic models, i.e., the one-diode model (ODM), dual-diode model (DDM), and PV-module model (PMM). In general, ESMA outperformed the original SMA and other recent algorithms. Also, in order to provide a close approximation of the empirical I-V data of the real PV modules and cells, ESMA was able to determine the optimal parameter values for photovoltaic models.
