Abstract
This study presents a new maximum power point tracking algorithm applied to a photovoltaic water pumping system in order to optimize the photovoltaic power generation. This system is driven by an induction motor controlled by a cascade sliding mode control in order to track a set of reference trajectories such as currents, rotor flux and speed. By using the MATLAB-SIMULINK software, modeling and simulation studies are investigated to highlight the utility of the proposed system.
Highlights
In order to cover the energy requirement, researches are being made for renewable energy
In order to force the PV generator to operate at its maximum power point under different solar illumination values, we develop a maximum power point tracking algorithm MPPT which calculates the reference speed of the induction motor versus the solar illumination as in Abid et al (2007), Arrouf and Bouguechal (2003) and Barazane et al (2003)
In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control technique applied to the photovoltaic water pumping system, some simulations have been carried out
