“…Conversely, the numerical (metaheuristic) evolutionary and hybrid algorithms are capable of escaping from local optima and reaching the global optimum solution easily. As per the literature, there are many metaheuristic optimization algorithms used in the estimation of PV parameters estimation, such as: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) [12], Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) [13], Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) [14], Cuckoo Search (CS) [15] , Biogeography-based Heterogeneous Cuckoo Search (BHCS) [16], Firefly Algorithm (FA) [17], Moth-Flame Optimization Algorithm (MFOA) [18], Bee Pollinator Flower Pollination Algorithm (BPFPA) [19], Pattern Search (PS) [20], Harmony Search (HS) [21], Fish Swarm Algorithm (FSA) [22], Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) [23], Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA) [24], Jaya algorithm [25], Hybridized Interior Search Algorithm (HISA) [26], Artificial Immune System (AIS) [27], Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) [28], Artificial Biogeography based Optimization Algorithm with Mutation (BOA-M) [29], Elephant Herd Algorithm (EHA) [30], an Artificial Bee Colony-Differential Evolution (ABC-DE) [31], improved adaptive Nelder-Mead Simplex(NMS) hybridized with ABC algorithm, hybrid EHA-NMS [32], Improved Adaptive DE (IADE) [33], Chaotic Asexual Reproduction Optimization (CARO) [34], Improved Shuffled Complex Evolution (ISCE) [35], Heterogeneous Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimizer (HCLPSO) [36], Mutative-scale Parallel Chaos Optimization Algorithm (MPCOA) [37], Artificial Ecosystem optimization [38], Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA) [39], Enhanced Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (ETLBO) algorithm [40], Coyote Optimization Algorithm (COA) [41], Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) [42], Sunflower Optimization (SFO)…”
