Induction Motor Speed Control with Solar Cell Using MPPT Algorithm by Incremental Conductance Method

Abstract

In the world, optimizing energy and finding new sources is important because of the increased consumption that occurred in all aspects of life. Nowadays, the world suffers of the reduction in the fossil fuel continuously. One solution to this problem is the sun and the photovoltaic (PV) cell. To get the benefits of PV, the DC/DC and DC/AC converters and inverters are combined in one set to get the better usage of these capabilities. Induction motor (IM) is the horsepower in the industry and will be considered the load in this work. The DC/DC Converter is used for control of IM speed in combination with maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Temperature and radiation change constantly over time, and the maximum energy should be tracked. This follow-up was performed using Incremental Conductance method (INC). INC is control buck-boost duty cycle converter. We get the best performance in INC technology and have less effect on the system. This algorithm uses INC of the MPPT to control half of horse power of IM. The sine pulse width modulation technique (SPWM) is used with three level inverters. Simulation on the Three-phase proves the efficiency of the suggested technique.
