A novel hybrid parameter estimation technique of solar PV

This paper develops a novel hybrid parameter estimation technique of the solar photovoltaic (PV) cell. First, a mathematical model of the solar PV cell, which is a function of three unknown parameters, namely, series resistance, shunt resistance, and thermal voltage, is developed. Then, trust-region algorithms are used to evaluate these three unknown parameters. The accuracy and efficacy of the proposed technique are tested with five different...
