Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor Drive for Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) Array Fed Water Pumping System by using Fuzzy Logic Controller

Authors(2) :-Sakana Reddi Prasad, V. Sunil Kumar Reddy

This paper proposes a basic, cost effective and effective brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive for sun based photovoltaic (SPV) cluster encouraged water pumping system. A zeta converter is used with a specific end goal to separate the greatest accessible power from the SPV array. The proposed control calculation dispenses with stage current sensors and adjusts an essential recurrence switching of the voltage source inverter (VSI), in this manner keeping away from the power lossess because of high recurrence switching. No extra control or hardware is utilized for speed control of the BLDC motor. The speed is controlled through a variable DC connect voltage of VSI. A fitting control of zeta converter through the incremental conductance greatest power point following (INC-MPPT) calculation offers delicate beginning of the BLDC motor. The proposed water pumping system is planned and demonstrated with the end goal that the execution is not influenced under element conditions.
