Parameters identification of photovoltaic models using an improved JAYA optimization algorithm

Abstract Parameters identification of photovoltaic (PV) models based on measured current-voltage characteristic curves is significant for the simulation, evaluation, and control of PV systems. To accurately and reliably identify the parameters of different PV models, an improved JAYA (IJAYA) optimization algorithm is proposed in the paper. In IJAYA, a self-adaptive weight is introduced to adjust the tendency of approaching the best solution and avoiding the worst solution at different search stages, which enables the algorithm to approach the promising area at the early stage and implement the local search at the later stage. Furthermore, an experience-based learning strategy is developed and employed randomly to maintain the population diversity and enhance the exploration ability. A chaotic elite learning method is proposed to refine the quality of the best solution in each generation. The proposed IJAYA is used to solve the parameters identification problems of different PV models, i.e., single diode, double diode, and PV module. Comprehensive experiment results and analyses indicate that IJAYA can obtain a highly competitive performance compared with other state-of-the-state algorithms, especially in terms of accuracy and reliability.
