A modified particle swarm optimization rat search algorithm and its engineering application.

Solar energy generation requires photovoltaic (PV) systems to be optimised, regulated, and simulated with efficiency. The performance of PV systems is greatly impacted by the fluctuation and occasionally restricted accessibility of model parameters, which makes it difficult to identify these characteristics over time. To extract the features of solar modules and build highly accurate models for PV system modelling, control, and optimisation, current-voltage data collecting is essential. To overcome these difficulties, the modified particle swarm optimization rat search algorithm is presented in this manuscript. The modified rat search algorithm is incorporated to increase the PSO algorithm's accuracy and efficiency, which leads to better outcomes. The RSA mechanism increases both the population's diversity and the quality of exploration. For triple diode model of both monocrystalline and polycrystalline, PSORSA has showed exceptional performance in comparison to other algorithm i.e. RMSE for monocrystalline is 3.21E-11 and for polycrystalline is 1.86E-11. Similar performance can be observed from the PSORSA for four diode model i.e. RMSE for monocrystalline is 4.14E-09 and for polycrystalline is 4.72E-09. The findings show that PSORSA outperforms the most advanced techniques in terms of output, accuracy, and dependability. As a result, PSORSA proves to be a trustworthy instrument for assessing solar cell and PV module data.

Sustainable development of fuel cell using enhanced weighted mean of vectors algorithm.

Using the mathematical model of a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) stack, a new optimum approach is presented for estimating the seven unknown parameters i.e., ( e o , α , R , j e i d , C 1 , ß ,req) optimally. Specifically, a method is proposed for minimization of the Sum of Squared Errors (SSE) associated with the estimated polarization profile, based on the experimental data from simulations. The Enhanced Weighted mean of vectors (EINFO) algorithm is a novel metaheuristic method that is proposed to achieve this goal. An analysis of the results of this method is then compared to various metaheuristic algorithms such as the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA), Dragonfly Algorithm (DA), Atom Search Optimization (ASO), and Weighted mean of vectors (INFO) well known in literature. As a final step to confirm the proposed approach's effectiveness, the sensitivity analysis is carried out using temperature changes, along with comparison against different approaches described in the literature to demonstrate its superiority. After comparison of parameter estimation and different operating temperature a non-parametric test is also performed and compared with the rest of the metaheuristic algorithms used in the manuscript. From these tests it is concluded that the proposed algorithm is superior to the rest of the compared algorithms.
