Abstract
This paper proposes an application of a novel nature-inspired algorithm called Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) in the
de termination of the maximum power point in a bifacial photovoltaic (PV). The optimisation algorithm mimics the behaviour of the
cuckoo birds, especially their very strange reproduction strategy. The Cuckoo Search in general is a minimisation search algorithm and
suits fine with the objective function of this investigation, which is the absolute value of the power difference of the calculated and
catalogue value for given metrological conditions. For the calculated output power three different photovoltaic cell presentations are used:
ideal single, real single-diode and double-diode PV cell presentation. The determination of the maximum power point is performed using
the different photovoltaic cell circuits and for different solar irradiation at constant temperature. The aim of this work is to compare the
results gained using the three PV cell models using the cuckoo search optimisation algorithm.
