Parameterssetting of each algorithm is shown in Table 1.5. Results and DiscussionFor all calculations, the number of maximum iteration andpopulation are set to 5,000 and 100 individually. Becauseof the stochastic nature of metaheuristics, every algorithmruns 20 times.

ConclusionThis paper presents optimal parameters of solar cells fromthe experimental data sets of single diode and double diodeRTC cells for the control and design of a PV system. Theestimated current, as well as power rating of a solar, de-pends upon several input parameters like photo-generatedcurrent, reverse saturation current, series resistance, shuntresistance, and ideality factor which are described in Sec-tion 2.Due to the complexity of the optimization problem, anew multi-objective hybrid optimization method involvingboth PSO and GWO is applied. Moreover, a comparisonbetween the PSO–GWO hybrid on the one hand, and PSOand GWO each used in isolation on the other, is performedfor both the single and double diode objective function.Due to its capability of searching global optimum, theconvergence speed proposed PSO–GWO hybrid algorithmis a fruitful algorithm that can serve as an alternativemethod for finding the modelling parameters of PV mod-ules. As mentioned in Section 5, the proposed hybrid al-gorithm PSO–GWO is efficient other than PSO and GWOusing convergence speed, computational efficiency, root-mean-square error, and accuracy. In this key study, pro-219Figure 3. Comparative study of relative error for SDM.Figure 4.

Thereliability and accuracy of the proposed optimization oughtto be additionally improved in the future.
