However, existing methods for PV parameter identification often suffer from limitations in accuracy and efficiency. To address these challenges, we propose an adaptive multi-learning cooperation search algorithm (AMLCSA) for efficient identification of unknown parameters in PV models. AMLCSA is a novel algorithm inspired by teamwork behaviors in modern enterprises. It enhances the original cooperation search algorithm in two key aspects: (i) an adaptive multi-learning strategy that dynamically adjusts search ranges using adaptive weights, allowing better individuals to focus on local exploitation while guiding poorer individuals toward global exploration; and (ii) a chaotic grouping reflection strategy that introduces chaotic sequences to enhance population diversity and improve search performance. The effectiveness of AMLCSA is demonstrated on single-diode, double-diode, and three PV-module models. Simulation results show that AMLCSA offers significant advantages in convergence, accuracy, and stability compared to existing state-of-the-art algorithms.
