Electrical Parameters Extraction of Diode Using Whale Optimization Algorithm

In this paper, we propose a new method based on an heuristic algorithm, which is called whale optimization algorithm (WOA) to extract the main electrical parameters of a diode, such as saturation current, ideality factor, and series resistance. WOA is an efficient optimization algorithm that imitates the humpback whales natural hunting strategy. Three operators are used to mimic humpback whales behaviors of bubble-net foraging, surrounding, and searching for prey. The findings of the suggested model are compared with analytical and experimental current-voltage data, and they are shown to be in good agreement.
