Optimal Control of Photovoltaic Generation for Induction Motor Driving

유도전동기 드라이브 구동을 위한 태양광 발전의 최적화 제어

This paper proposed design and development of a photo voltaic (PV) array fed induction motor drive. A drive system using a chopper circuit to track maximum power from the PV for different solar insolation and a current controlled voltage source inverter (CC-VSI) to optimally match the motor to PV characteristics is presented. The model equations governing interaction of torque and flux producing components of motor current with available solar power is developed for the operation of the system at optimum efficiency. Performance of the system is presented for different realistic operating conditions, which demonstrates its special features for applications such as solar water pumping system, solar vehicles and floor mills located in hilly and isolated areas.
