Robust optimization framework for parameter estimation of three diode solar photovoltaic model

Abstract

Energy is an obligatory requirement for economic growth and human newlinedevelopment, which leads to a strong reciprocal relationship between newlineeconomic development and energy utilization. The power demand is newlineincreasing with the increasing rate of the global population. The use of fossil newlinefuels and nuclear power should be reduced significantly in the upcoming newlinedecades due to its injurious effect on the environment. The greenhouse newlineemissions and fossil fuels shortage are the twin challenges facing man-kind, newlineand the development of new clean energy technologies has been recognized as newlinethe key to tackling the problems. Solar cells have attracted considerable newlineattention due to the features of their high power density, no pollution, and low newlinenoise. newlineAs a source of green energy, Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) can generate newlineelectricity from sunlight using semiconductor materials. Globally, there is a newlinemassive increase in solar PV capacities compared to those of wind energy as newlineper the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21), the newlinelatest published report in 2021. To express the nonlinear relationship between newlinevoltage-current and voltage-power of the PV cell, an equivalent circuit model newlineis required. Therefore, parameter estimation and accurate PV modeling from newlinebasic I-V information are necessary for the simulation, optimization, and newlinecontrol of the PV systems. In this research work, the Parameter Estimation of newlineThree-Diode (TD) Solar PV Model is performed with two key contributions. newlineInitially, the modeling of the PV system, PV materials, Three Diode Model newline(TDM) and the problem formulation are detailed newline
