Description
Summary:Renewable energy through the use of fuel cells and solar cells is one of the popular developments in recent days that produce electricity. Accurate modelling of fuel cell and solar cells are essential in simulation and analysis of energy systems with these sources. However, the systems are extremely nonlinear and complicated. The model needs to be optimized under distinct operating circumstances. Enhanced and streamlined Improved Estimation of Distribution (IED) Algorithm is suggested in this paper to estimate the parameter through optimization for solar cell models and fuel cell models. This is accomplished through the introduction of an ideal approach to improve population quality and the use of a local search to improve the efficiency of the finest global solution further. The design of an IED algorithm is much more straightforward and search efficiency is greatly improved compared with the fundamental optimization techniques from the literature.
