Abstract
PV cell/module/characteristic array accuracy is mainly influenced by their circuit elements, based on established circuit characteristics, under varied radiation and temperature operating conditions. As a result, this study provides a modified accessible Honey Badger algorithm (HBA) to identify the trustworthy parameters of diode models for various PV cells and modules. This approach relies on modifying the 2D chaotic Henon map settings to improve HBA's searching ability. A series of experiments are done utilizing the RTC France cell and SLP080 solar module datasets for the single and double-diode models to validate the performance of the presented technique. It is also compared to other state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, a variety of statistical and non-parametric tests are used. The findings reveal that the suggested method outperforms competing strategies regarding accuracy, consistency, and convergence rate. Moreover, the primary outcomes clarify the superiority of the proposed modified optimizer in determining accurate parameters that provide a high matching between the estimated and the measured datasets.
