Abstract

Precise model parameters being the prerequisite for realizing accurate PV models, parameter identification techniques have gained immense interest over the years among the researchers specializing in PV systems. The application of various promising metaheuristic algorithms to optimize the model parameters have lightened up the scope of further enhancements in this field. Ever since, numerous metaheuristic algorithms have deployed for this purpose. With handful of techniques available in this regard, this paper takes up an initiative to review the existing metaheuristic algorithms based parameter extraction techniques with an emphasis on their compatibility, accuracy, convergence speed, range of parameters set and their validating environment. Based on the analysis conducted, accurate models available for 17 different industrial solar cells/modules are identified. Inspired by this review, an unidentified gateway between parameter extraction and fault detection in PV systems have been identified; and has further extended this review to differentiate some models that can help the researchers to achieve accurate, efficient and rapid fault detection. This review is a valuable gathering of statistics from the various researches carried out in PV parameter extraction which can assist enhanced researches for fault detection in PV systems as well.
