PI-like fuzzy based synchronous SEPIC converter control for PV-fed small scale irrigation DC pump

Abstract

For off-grid, standalone solar-fed water pumping has become a very viable option for small householder farmers. Appropriate configuration and control to suit this specific application are required. Buck, boost, and buck-boost converters are used to ensure impedance adaption between the solar PV generation and the load. However, these converters have switching harmonic problems. This problem is solved by the use of a single-ended primary inductor converter. Thus, a single-ended primary inductor converter is designed to overcome these drawbacks. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to design a single-ended primary inductive converter with a PI-like fuzzy controller. In this paper, synchronous SEPIC converter with PI-like fuzzy controller for PV-fed pumping system is modeled and designed. The system performance at different input conditions is evaluated. PI and PI-like fuzzy controllers have been compared using MATLAB/SIMULINK. PI-type fuzzy controller is less sensitive to input parameters variation than PI due to auto-tuning capability. Less than 2% output variation is recorded between 200 and 1000 W/m 2 irradiance. This show that output voltage is less sensitive to the input solar radiation with this SEPIC converter control. The steady-state result obtained in speed and flow rate were 141.4 rpm and 1.56 l/s, respectively, and the voltage error was 1.4 V. Thus, PI-like fuzzy controller was used to reduce the steady-state error. The results obtained with

Control strategies of photovoltaic systems

“…El control PI ofrece una gran robustez a la vez que no requiere de una gran capacidad de cómputo, haciéndolo un control extendido dentro de los convertidores. No obstante, requiere de exactitud del modelo al momento de sintonizar para obtener resultados óptimos, además de realizar una transformación de coordenadas a dq implicando la necesidad de algoritmos PLL para la sincronización ya que este control sólo ofrece cero error en estado estacionario para una referencia dc [36]- [39]. El diagrama de bloques que representa este control aplicado se muestra en la Fig.…”

A flexible closed-loop (fcl) pid and dynamic fuzzy logic + pid controllers for optimization of dc motor

“…While investigating the DC motor application used to provide navigation in the versatile movement of mobile robot applications (Yunardi, et al,2021), a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controlled DC motor system is recommended to regulate the speed at the mini conveyor (Latif, et al,2021). Motor control applications for a pump find effective application areas in irrigation and agriculture (Mondal, et al, 2020,Workineh, et al, 2021Assefa, et al,2021;Mseddi, et al2021). DC voltage regulated by PID or FUZZY Logic Controller controlling a dc-dc converter or a dc voltage source switch at the input in DC motor applications can control speed, voltage, and position (Can et al, 2017;Mahmud, et al, 2020;Arulmozhiyal, and Kandiban, 2012).…”
