Abstract

For many electrical systems, such as renewable energy sources, their internal parameters are exposed to degradation due to the operating conditions. Since the model’s accuracy is required for establishing proper control and management plans, identifying their parameters is a critical and prominent task. Various techniques have been developed to identify these parameters. However, metaheuristic algorithms have received much attention for their use in tackling a wide range of optimization issues relating to parameter extraction. This work provides an exhaustive literature review on solving parameter extraction utilizing recently developed metaheuristic algorithms. This paper includes newly published articles in each studied context and its discussion. It aims to approve the applicability of these algorithms and make understanding their deployment easier. However, there are not any exact optimization algorithms that can offer a satisfactory performance to all optimization issues, especially for problems that have large search space dimensions. As a result, metaheuristic algorithms capable of searching very large spaces of possible solutions have been thoroughly investigated in the literature review. Furthermore, depending on their behavior, metaheuristic algorithms have been divided into four types. These types and their details are included in this paper. Then, the basics of the identification process are presented and discussed. Fuel cells, electrochemical batteries, and photovoltaic panel parameters identification are investigated and analyzed.
