A modified electromagnetic algorithm for estimating parameters of single diode model of PV cells

Parameter estimation of photovoltaic (PV) cell models, presents a challenging problem. Metaheuristic algorithms are one of the most suitable methods for calculating the parameters of nonlinear models. The single diode model (SDM) is a non-linear model for photovoltaic cells that depends on five parameters. In this paper, a modified electromagnetic algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters of the SDM of photovoltaic cells . The error of the proposed algorithm has been reduced compared to the conventional version, and the parameter values of the SDM have been obtained more accurately in this method.
