The aim of this research is to achieve the highest efficiency for a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) before the fabrication process. For DSSC efficiency improvement, six different optimization algorithms are used for the DSSC parameter extraction. The algorithms used are the genetic algorithm, grey wolf algorithm, dragonfly algorithm, moth flame algorithm, ant-lion algorithm, and whale algorithm, developed based on MATLAB coding. The physical parameters for the DSSC are the electron lifetime, electrode thickness, ideality factor, absorption coefficient, and diffusion coefficient. A comparative study is carried out among the six algorithms based on the highest efficiency and computational speed. Finally, a sensitivity analysis of environmental conditions (solar irradiance and temperature) and physical parameters is implemented and analyzed to simulate the DSSC performance for different values of these parameters. The DSSC parameters studied are short-circuit current density, open-circuit voltage, fill factor, and efficiency. The optimal electron lifetime is 100 ms, and the optimal thickness of the photoanode layer is 1 μm, reaching maximum efficiency equal to 11.79%.

One of the biggest environmental challenges for scientists and researchers is to minimize energy crisis by utilizing renewable energy without impacting the climate. Natural dyes based organic solar cells are third generation dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) which are bio safe, low cost, and relatively easy to fabricate with flexibility than Silicon based solar cells. In this study dye sensitized solar cells are modelled and simulated using diffusion model. The simulations are carried out in MATLAB software to investigate the electrical characteristics. The simulations are performed for three different DSSCs made of pomegranate, beetroot and N-719 dyes. Physical parameters are extracted and their impact on the performance of solar cells is studied. Additionally, the effects of variations in electrode thickness and irradiance are also investigated. The results indicated that short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage and output power increased by decreasing the electrode thickness. Simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental results of preassembled DSSCs. A set of parameters based on electrical considerations is delivered which will not only help to study the impact of physical parameter of DSSC but will also help to control and improve the performance and efficiency of Dye sensitized solar cells.

Amongst the several alternative resources, renewable energy source (RES) can provide continuous and clean energy. Furthermore, RESs have received a worldwide attention and an outstanding role is attributed to them. The sun energy can be exploited using light energy conversion applications such as photovoltaics. Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) is third-generation photovoltaic device and a forwardlooking, easily producible solar cell. Nevertheless, buying a commercially available DSSC, datasheet and material information are unavailable. Thus, the purchased DSSC is a black box. The main motivation is that to develop a MatLab application which is able to determine the material information and parameters of the Dye Sensitized Solar Cell from some incoming parameters. The goal of the study is to describe the peration of the developed MatLab application which calculated the photogeneration rate in function of the thickness of the cell, the open-circuit voltage, and to illustrate its operation via an example. The photogeneration rate is solved using the numerical finite element method as a numerical procedure. In our model the Beer-Lambert law is implemented. The model takes into consideration the measured parameters of the light such as photoncount-wavelength spectrum, transmissionwavelength spectrum and irradiation intensity-wavelength spectrum. Furthermore, the open-circuit voltage is an elementary electric parameter of a solar cell.
