Solar Radiation Effects on the Performance of a PV Pumping System Driven by a Three-Phase Permanent Magnet Motor
摘要
The development of life has been possible thanks to the presence of water and electricity, especially in rural areas and isolated places, where it is difficult to obtain them. This is what made them greatly interested in generators that operate on clean energy, especially solar energy, and use it as a new alternative to traditional energy. However, the output characteristics of the solar generator are not constant and are affected by weather conditions, especially sunlight. The main objective of this article is to evaluate the dynamic performance of a photovoltaic (PV) pumping system (PVWPS) driven by a three-phase permanent magnet motor (PMSM), via a DC/DC boost converter, a three-phase voltage inverter coupled with a centrifugal pump under the influence of irradiation solar. An MPPT control strategy based on fuzzy logic (FL) is proposed. All components of the system were studied and analyzed to simulate the global system in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Simulation results are presented and discussed to show the effectiveness of a PV water system optimized by the FL controller and driven by PMSM in terms of efficiency, stability, start-up and DC link voltage fluctuations caused by variation in solar illumination and productivity in the steady-state operation.
