Abstract

In this paper, Maximum Power Point Tracking Controller is designed based on Neural Network Controller (NNC). This controller will sense the speed of a single phase induction motor which is fed from solar panel. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm are required in all photovoltaic (PV) system and in order to increase the efficiency of the system, Incremental Conductance algorithm which is an effective algorithm is used to extract maximum power from the solar panel which supplies an Induction motor of 1HP. To step up the voltage available from the solar panel, the SEPIC dc – dc converter is used. The main advantage of the converter is having non-inverted output. The converter acts as an interface between PV array and motor load. The entire system is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink  software.

Abstract

Design and simulation of a simple power electronic interface for grid-connected PV array has been proposed using boost converter and line-commutated inverter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. The output of PV array varies with irradiation, and hence the duty cycle of the PI controller is adjusted automatically to supply a constant DC voltage to the inverter circuit, the output of which is directly connected to the grid. The MPPT controller extracts maximum power from the solar array and feeds it to the single-phase utility grid. The proposed scheme has been modeled in the MATLAB 7.1 software and the complete system has been simulated for open loop and closed loop configurations. The active power fed to the grid is taken for different firing angles in open loop mode and the firing angle for maximum power has been determined. This is compared with the firing angle obtained from the closed loop mode and found that both results agree with each other.
