Power Operation

Stand-alone applications of Photovoltaic (PV) can be found in water pumping systems for rural area. The proper electric motor must be chosen for optimal considerations. One of the modern electric motor called brushless motor (BLDC) can be an alternative for this application although it has complexity in control. Powering such a motor by using electric energy generating by PV modules will be an interesting problem. In this paper, a PV powered BLDC motor system is proposed. The PV modules must produce maximum power at any instant time and then this power must be able to rotate the motor. By combining sequential stator energizing due to a rotor detection and a PWM concept, the speed of BLDC can be controlled. Meanwhile, to get maximum power of PV modules, detection of voltage and current of the modules are required to be calculated. Digital Signal Control (DSC) is implemented to handle this control strategy and locks the width of the PWM signal to maintain the PV modules under maximum power operation. The effectiveness of the proposed system has been verified by simulation works. Finally the experimental works were done to validate.

Background: Despite so many developments, most of the farmers in the rural areas are still dependent on rainwater, rivers or water wells, for irrigation, drinking water etc. The main reason behind such dependency is non-connectivity with the National grid and thus unavailability of electricity. To extract the maximum power from solar photovoltaic (SPV) based system, implementation of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is mandatory. PV power is intermittent in nature. Variation in the irradiation level due to partial shading or mismatching phenomena leads to the development of modular DC-DC converters. Methods: A stand-alone Multi-Input Dual-Output (MIDO) DC-DC converter based SPV system, is installed at a farm; surrounded with plants for water pumping with stable flow (not pulsating) along with battery energy storage (BES) for lighting. The proposed work has two main objectives; first to maximize the available PV power under shadowing and mismatching condition in case of series/ parallel connected PV modules and second is to improve the utilization of available PV energy with dual loads connected to it. Implementation of proposed MIDO converter along with BES addresses these objectives. First, MIDO controller ensures the MPPT operation of the SPV system to extract maximum power even under partial shading condition and second, controls the power supplied to the motor-pump system and BES. The proposed system is simulated in MATLAB/ SIMULINK environment. Real-time experimental readings under natural sun irradiance through hardware set-up are also taken under dynamic field conditions to validate the performance. Results and Conclusion: The inherent advantage of individual MPPT of each PV source in MIDO configuration, under varying shadow patterns due to surrounding plants and trees is added to common DC bus and therefore provides a better impact on PV power extraction as compared to conventional PV based water pumping system. Multi-outputs at different supply voltages is another flag of MIDO system. Both these aspects are implemented and working successfully at 92.75% efficiency.

Torque Pulsations

When designing electric drives based on brushless DC motors with permanent magnets (BLDC), which have low level torque pulsations, the problem of modelling non-standard topological solutions appears. The known models of BLDC motors are either based on the assumptions about the symmetry of the stator pa-rameters of the electric motor and/or the ideal form of the phase back-EMF waveform, which reduce the accuracy of evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed solutions or prove unusable for modelling an operation of the electric motor with a non-standard semiconductor converter. It is necessary to develop a mathematical model of the BLDC motor-based electric drive that takes into account the structural features of the electric motor and allows for semiconductor converter configuration variability. The model is designed in the Matlab Simulink environment. The verification is carried out by comparing the modelling results with experimental data obtained previously by other researchers. The proposed method for generating phase back-EMF in the BLDC motor model provides the possibility for the user to set the EMF form templates independent for each phase. The proposed method for stator circuit simulating provides the user with access to each of the stator windings leads as well as with the possibility of asymmetric determination of each parameter of the electric motor. Upon verification, it has been shown that the difference in the control points between the simulated and experimental speed-torque curves does not exceed 3,5 %. The developed model allows analyzing the static and dynamic characteristics of operation modes of non-standard topology BLDC motor-based electric drives taking into account the stator pa-rameters asymmetry and the real phase back-EMF waveform. The specified features of the model allow exploring the operation of the designed electric drive, taking into account the BLDC motor and converter design. The model can be applied when checking atypical design decisions and when changing the set parameters of the electric drive and restrictions on working conditions and target functions to refine the control system algorithms and automate the search for optimal parameters of the motor and the semiconductor converter.

This Paper Presents Novel DC-DC Converter Based Closed Loop Control of BLDC Motor for SPV fed Water Pumping System Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) Array fed Water pumping System Utilizing Buck-boost DC-DC Converter in order to extract the maximum available power from Solar system. Solar energy has the greatest availability compared to other energy sources. For such solar PV systems, maximum power point tracking control is preferred for efficient operation. This concept is dealing with INC method which is one of the MPPT methods. This study deals with a buck–boost converter controlled solar photovoltaic (SPV) array fed water pumping in order to achieve the maximum efficiency of an SPV array and the soft starting of a permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor. The current sensors normally used for speed control of BLDC motor are completely eliminated. The speed of BLDC motor is controlled through the variable DC-link voltage of a voltage-source inverter (VSI). The VSI is operated by fundamental frequency switching, avoiding the losses due to high-frequency switching, in order to enhance the efficiency of the proposed system.

A modern AC motor drive is a very intelligent system which covers a wide range of different electro technical apparatus and a wide scope of electrical engineering skills. A modern AC motor drive consists of four closely acting main parts: the AC machine, the power electronics, the motor control algorithm and the control hardware, i.e. the signal electronics. The advances in semiconductors and microelectronics have made the rapid development of AC motor drives possible. Semiconductors used in the switching converters provide the electric energy processing capability and microcontrollers and digital signal processors provide the data processing power for complex control algorithms.

Energy harvesting engineering fields constitutes a promising area to provide electrical power for low-power electric applications obtained from other sources of energy available in the environment such as thermal, electromagnetic, vibrational and acoustic by using transducers. Vibrational sources stand out as a main alternative to be used for generating electric power in sensor nodes in microelectronic devices due to the greater energy conversion efficiency and the use of a simple structure. The cantilever is the main system implemented in studies of obtaining electric energy from vibrations using piezoelectric transducers. Most of piezoelectric transducers in the literature are not yet commercially available and/or are difficult to access for purchase and use. This paper proposes the characterization of low-cost piezoelectric transducers, configured as sensors, for Energy Harvesting applications using three different sizes of circular piezoelectric transducers (PZTs.) with diameters of 3.4 cm, 2.6 cm and 1.5 cm. For all three different PZTs, it was found that the maximum power transfer occurs for a resistive load of 82 kΏ. The maximum power generated in the load for the three PZTs was 40 uW, 14 uW and 1.4 W; with RMS voltages of 2.8 V, 2.10 V and 0.6 V; an acceleration of 1.3 g and a vibration frequency approximate of 7 Hz.
