Abstract

Accurate photovoltaic (PV) model parameter identification is crucial for reliable simulation and maximum power point tracking (MPPT).To address common metaheuristic shortcomings like sensitivity to initialisation and premature convergence, this study proposes a modified improved crested porcupine optimiser (MICPO) featuring a dynamic balancing framework.MICPO integrates chaotic reverse learning, optimal value-guided search, and polynomial differential learning to maintain a robust global-local search balance.Validated on single-and double-diode models, MICPO achieves state-of-the-art accuracy (e.g., RMSE of 9.8602E-04) with faster, more stable convergence.Its superior generalisation is further demonstrated on the CEC2017 benchmark and commercial PV modules under varying conditions.Results confirm MICPO as a highly accurate, efficient, and robust solution for practical PV parameter extraction.
