This paper presents a decentralized Takagi Sugeno (T-S) control scheme for a PV powered water pumping system, which is composed of a photovoltaic generator (PVG) supplying via a DC-DC boost converter, a DC-AC inverter, an Induction Motor coupled to a centrifugal pump. A T-S fuzzy controller is developed for MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) to control the DC-DC boost converter, under variable solar irradiation and ambient temperature. An observer-based T-S fuzzy controller is dedicated to control the IM to guarantee the field-oriented control performances. From the optimal PV power provided in the MPP conditions, the optimal speed is calculated and delivered to control the IM, so that the proposed PV pumping system operates in optimal conditions and thus, maximizes the quantity of water pumped daily. Finally, simulation results are presented for both transient and steady state operation while taking into account all changes in climatic conditions, in order to validate the efficiency of the developed decentralized controller.

In recent years, one of the suitable solar photovoltaic (PV) applications is a water pumping system. The simplest solar PV pumping system consists of PV array, DC-DC converter, DC motor, and water pump. In this paper, water pumping system sizing for Libya is evaluated based on a daily demand using HOMER software, and dynamic modeling of a solar PV water pumping system using a Permanent Magnet DC (PMDC) motor is presented in Matlab/Simulink environment. The system performance with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) based on Fractional Open Circuit Voltage (FOCV) is evaluated with and without a battery storage system. In some applications, a rated voltage is needed to connect a PMDC motor to a PV array through a DC-DC converter and in other applications the input voltage can vary. The evaluation of the system is based on the performance during a change in solar irradiation. Using Matlab/Simulink, simulation results are assessed to see the efficiency of the system when it is operating at a specific speed or at the MPPT. The results show that an improvement in the system efficiency can be achieved when the PMDC motor is running at a specific speed rather than at the peak PV power point.
