Abstract: The electric charged particles optimization (ECPO) technique is inspired by the interaction (exerted forces) between electrically charged particles. A developed version of ECPO called MECPO is suggested in this article to enhance the capability of searching and balancing the exploitation and exploration phases of the conventional ECPO. To let the search agent jumps out from the local optimum and avoid stagnation in the local optimum in the proposed MECPO, three different strategies in the interaction between ECPs are modified in conjunction with the conventional ECPO. Therefore, the convergence rate is enhanced and reaches rapidly to the optimal solution. To evaluate the effectiveness of the MECPO, it is executed on the test functions of the CEC’17. Furthermore, the MECPO technique is suggested to estimate the parameters of different photovoltaic models, such as the single-diode model (SDM), the double-diode model (DDM), and the triple-diode model (TDM). The simulation results illustrate the validation and effectiveness of MECPO in extracting parameters from photovoltaic models.
