Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to present a solar PV system based water pump for remote areas. The pump is driven directly coupled single phase induction motor and uses a boost converter to generate the rated voltage of motor. Sinusoidal pulse width modulation is used for inverter to feed single phase induction motor. The proposed control of boost converter uses PI controller to maintain DC link voltage at desired value during solar radiation variation. The proposed system is simulated in MATLAB/SIMLINK and obtained results are presented to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed system.
