This paper describes control of water pumping system using PV array. An integral part of the system with various system components be constructed PV array. maximum power point tracker BLDC motor and pump. BLDC motor has the quality of torque output and efficiency, has been more widely used in a field for multifarious application. However pumping system using PV array has limited for application because output characteristics of solar cell are greatly fluctuate on the variations of insolation, temperature and loads. For this reson, in this paper each parts efficiently contoroled by the maximum power point tracker, the vector control method of BLDC motor and the pressure PI controller using TMS320C- 31.

A novel decision reference based method for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of PV arrays is presented in this paper. The proposed decision reference was derived from a simplified solar cell model. This method solves the problems of conventional MPPT algorithms, such as oscillation of the operating point at the steady state and confusion under rapidly changing insolation. It is shown by simulation and experimental results that the method properly tracks a rapidly changing insolation profile. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the new decision reference is also higher than those of conventional P&O and INC methods. An updating subroutine was included in the proposed MPPT algorithm to compensate for temperature and aging effects.

Due to the measurement noise or system noise, the performance of photovoltaic power generation system can be degraded. If this noise is contained in the solar array voltage measurement signal, the correct operation of the maximum power point tracker can not be guaranteed. The application of the extended Kalman filter to the photovoltaic system can obtain enhanced states estimation result. The Kalman filter provides a recursive solution to optimally estimate from random noise signals. Additionally, as a consequence of Kalman filter, the unmeasurable state such as inductor current can be estimated without current sensor. The methods for system modeling and extended Kalman filter design are presented and the experimental results verify the validity of the proposed system.

The studies on the photovoltaic system are extensively exhaustible and broadly available resourse as a future energy supply. In this paper, a new maximum power point tracker(MPPT) using neural network theory is proposed to improve energy conversion efficiency. The boost converter and neural network controller(NNC) were employed so that the operating point of solar cell was located at the Maximum Power Point. And the back propagation algorithm with one input layer of two inputs(E, CE) and output layer(cnntrol value) was applied to train a neural network. Simulation and experimental results show that the performance of NNC in MPPT of photovoltaic array is better than that of controller based upon the Hill Climbing Method.

Techniques for mismatch loss minimization to increase the PV system efficiency are under development recently. In this paper, a method to make diagnosis of PV module mismatch is presented, which uses a concept of operating point factor. The method is based on the fact that the ratio of the incremental conductance of a PV module to instantaneous conductance is 1 when the module is operating at its maximum power point. The variations of module voltage and current are taking place by the maximum power point tracker in the power conditioning units of PV system. The effectiveness of the method is verified through an application to a real PV system.

The efficiency of photovoltaic generation systems depends on the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique. Among the various schemes presented in the literature, the incremental conductance (INC) method is one of the most frequently used due to its superb tracking ability under changes in insolation and temperature. Generally, conventional INC algorithms implement a simple duty-cycle updating rule that is mainly found on the polarity of the peak-power evaluation function. However, this fails to maximize the performance in both steady-state and transient conditions. In order to overcome this limitation, a novel regulated INC (r-INC) method is proposed in this paper. Like the compensators in automatic control systems, this method applies a digital compensator to evaluate the INC function and improve the capability of power tracking. Precise modeling of a new MPPT system is also presented in the optimized design process. A 120W boost peak power tracker is utilized to obtain comparative test results and to confirm the superiority of the proposed method over existing techniques.

A study on the hybrid micro power source for the IMT2000 application has been presented. The hybrid micro power source is composed of solar cell, super-capacitor and battery. To compensate for the pulse loader of the IMT2000 application, the super-capacitor is connected through the lithium-lon battery to absorb the pulse discharge current. The solar cell provides the additional current to compensate for the depleted current and it is controlled to operate at the maximum power point voltage. A novel maximum power point tracking method is presented to operate at the pulse discharge load conditions and verified to have superior tracking performance through experiment. The controller design for the hybrid micro power source has been presented and verified through experiment.

The use of boost chopper in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) aims to capture maximum power at any wind speed condition. It is reached by adjusting the duty cycle of boost chopper. In this paper, fuzzy logic algorithm is used to find the duty cycle value which yields the maximum power output. This control scheme is verified by PSIM simulation. Another MPPT method is also simulated as a comparison.
