Abstract
Recently, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been widely investigated as an efficient alternative for silicon solar cells. In this work, a proposed modified triple-diode model (MTDM) for PSCs modeling and simulation was used. The Bald Eagle Search (BES) algorithm, which is a novel nature-inspired search optimizer, was suggested for solving the model and estimating the PSCs device parameters because of the complex nature of determining the model parameters. Two PSC architectures, namely control and modified devices, were experimentally fabricated, characterized and tested in the lab. The I–V datasets of the fabricated devices were recorded at standard conditions. The decision variables in the proposed optimization process are the nine and ten unknown parameters of triple-diode model (TDM) and MTDM, respectively. The direct comparison with a number of modern optimization techniques including grey wolf (GWO), particle swarm (PSO) and moth flame (MFO) optimizers, as well as sine cosine (SCA) and slap swarm (SSA) algorithms, confirmed the superiority of the proposed BES approach, where the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) objective function between the experimental data and estimated characteristics achieves the least value.
