Optimization of pv cells/modules parameters using a modified quasi-oppositional logistic chaotic rao-1 (QOLCR) algorithm.

Since the behavior of photovoltaic (PV) modules under different operational conditions is highly nonlinear, predicting the performance of PV systems in industrial applications is becoming a major challenge issue. Moreover, the most important information required to configure an optimal PV system is unavailable in all manufacturer's datasheets. In this context, a novel method is recommended to optimize PV cells/module parameters with the ability to correctly characterize the I-V and P-V curves of different PV models.
