“…On the other hand, some of the researchers have proposed other methods to overcome the drawbacks of the analytical method, such as Newton Raphson (NR) based methods Easwarakhanthan et al, 1986;Villalva et al, 2009, Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm Ma et al, 2014;Tossa et al, 2014, artificial neural network based methods (Karabacak and Cetin, 2014;Karatepe et al, 2006;Karamirad et al, 2013;Bonanno et al, 2012;Patra and Maskell, 2012;Patra, 2011), evolutionary algorithms (EA) Dizqah et al, 2014;Moldovan et al, 2009;Zagrouba et al, 2010;Ismail et al, 2013;Hamid et al, 2013;Khanna et al, 2015;Ye et al, 2009;Askarzadeh and Dos Santos Coelho, 2015;Siddiqui and Abido, 2013;Yuan et al, 2014;Barukčić et al, 2014;Ishaque et al, 2012 and some other numerical techniques (Navabi et al, 2015;Lineykin et al, 2014) for this purpose. As a matter of fact, there are some drawbacks of NR based method for estimating PV module's model parameters.…”
