allow the agents to converge to the optimal solution. Then the Secant method is inserted into the objective
function to calculate the best-estimated currents. The application of the proposed model on three different
systems, namely a PV array, cell, and module, and the subsequent comparison with existing methods exhibit the
high accuracy of the proposed method, with the best root mean square error of 6.6851 × 10− 4 for the RTC cell,
1.5411 × 10− 3 for the Photowatt PWP module and 0.0134 for the experimental 18 PV array.

Then:

Geometrically as shown in Fig. 3, this is equivalent to replacing the

of AB with the line(Ox).
As shown in Fig. 3, xn+1 appears to be closer to the zero sought than
