The single-diode model (SDM) is an electrical equivalent circuit used to represent the behavior of solar cells and is widely used to simulate and predict the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of ...

Proper modeling of PV cells/modules through parameter identification based on the real current-voltage (I-V) data is important for the efficiency of PV systems. Most related works have concentrated on ...

This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm, termed Kangaroo Escape Optimization (KEO) for accurate parameter extraction of photovoltaic (PV) models including the single-diode, ...
