Identification of PV Parameters Based on Bézier Curve and AWSO

Abstract

AbstractTo achieve accurate PV cell parameter identification, a method combining the second‐order Bézier function with the adaptive war strategy optimization (AWSO) algorithm is proposed, the Bézier curve for fitting the PV output characteristic curve is given by using the linear connection between the filling factor and the control points of the second‐order Bézier function, and then, the Bézier‐AWSO model is constructed, and an adaptive weight‐based updating and allocation method is given to improve the global search capability of the AWSO algorithm in the problem of recognizing five important parameters of photovoltaic, and avoid falling into the local optimum in the process of recognition. Finally, the optimal solution for the unknown parameters in the single diode topology of silicon‐based photovoltaic cells is obtained by using the data points of the fitted curves and the AWSO algorithm, and the accuracy of the AWSO algorithm for photovoltaic cell parameter identification is verified through the analysis of the arithmetic examples and real experiments. The results demonstrate that the parameter identification of the proposed improved model reduces the average relative error by 0.5%–1% compared with that before the improvement under standard and non‐standard test conditions, which improves the accuracy of the 5‐parameter identification results of the silicon‐based PV cell and provides a reference for the subsequent fault analysis. © 2024 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.
