| Summary: | This paper presents a modeling of photovoltaic pumping system driven by a synchronous reluctance motor. Synchronous reluctance motor presents a number of merits due to its high response, high torque density and simple construction. In addition to that, rotor of synchronous reluctance motor is free of permanent magnets and windings. Lack of rotor coils reduces the copper losses and increases the robustness of the motor.The presented modeling consists of a photovoltaic energy source (PVES), a dcdc boost converter, a three phase inverter, a synchronous reluctance (SyncRel) motor and a centrifugal pump. The performance of the modeled system is studied with selected different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques at different radiation cases. MPPT techniques which are studied in this paper are: perturbation and observation, incremental conductance and constant voltage. The proposed PVWPS is modeled by MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results show a better performance of PVWPS with high obtained power from PVES, high response, smooth running speed and low torque ripples of SyncRel motor when the system is operated with incremental conductance technique. |
