description Abstract This paper presents a study to enhance the performance of a recently introduced naked mole-rat algorithm (NMRA), by local optima avoidance, and better exploration as well as exploitation properties. A new set of algorithms, namely Prairie dog optimization algorithm, INFO, and Fission fusion optimization algorithm (FuFiO) are included in the fundamental framework of NMRA to enhance the exploration operation. The proposed algorithm is a hybrid algorithm based on four algorithms: Prairie Dog, INFO, Fission Fusion and Naked mole-rat (PIFN) algorithm. Five new mutation operators/inertia weights are exploited to make the algorithm self-adaptive in nature. Apart from that, a new stagnation phase is added for local optima avoidance. The proposed algorithm is tested for variable population, dimension size, and efficient set of parameters is analysed to make the algorithm self-adaptive in nature. Friedman as well as Wilcoxon rank-sum tests are performed to determine the effectiveness of the PIFN algorithm. On the basis of a comparison of outcomes, the PIFN algorithm is more effective and robust than the other optimization techniques evaluated by prior researchers to address standard benchmark functions (classical benchmarks, CEC 2017, and CEC-2019) and complex engineering design challenges. Furthermore, the effectiveness as well as reliability of the PIFN algorithm is demonstrated by testing using various PV modules, namely the RTC France Solar Cell (SDM, and DDM), Photowatt-PWP201, STM6- 40/36, and STP6-120/36 module. The results obtained from the PIFN algorithm are compared with various MH algorithms reported in the existing literature. The PIFN algorithm achieved the lowest root-mean-square error value, for RTC France Solar Cell (SDM) is 7.72E−04, RTC France Solar Cell (DDM) is 7.59E−04, STP6-120/36 module is 1.44E−02, STM6-40/36 module is 1.723E−03, and Photowatt-PWP201 module is 2.06E−03, respectively. In order to enhance the accuracy of the obtained results of parameter estimation of solar photovoltaic systems, we integrated the Newton-Raphson approach with the PIFN algorithm. Experimental and statistical results further prove the significance of the PIFN algorithm with respect to other algorithms.
