The main advantage of this model is that it allows adjusting the number of diodes of the PV model by finding the configuration that most accurately characterizes a PV device under a certain operating condition and of different PV technologies. The proposed model was validated from experimental data measured at different irradiance and temperature levels, as well as for six different PV technologies. The results show that the model is able to accurately characterize the behaviour of PV devices.engGuaranteed convergence particle swarm optimizationModified multidimension diode modelParameter identificationPV parametersA Modified Multidimension Diode Model for PV Parameters Identification Using Guaranteed Convergence Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithmjournal article10.1109/EEEIC.2018.8494577
