Parameter Extraction of Solar Photovoltaic Modules Using Gravitational Search Algorithm

Parameter extraction of a solar photovoltaic system is a nonlinear problem. Many optimization algorithms are implemented for this purpose, which failed in giving better results at low irradiance levels. This article presents a novel method for parameter extraction using gravitational search algorith...
