A New Optimum Frequency Controller of Hybrid Pumping System: Bond Graph Modeling-Simulation and Practice with ARDUINO Board

The strategy of rural development in Tunisia needs to include as one of its priorities: the control of water. In seeking solutions for the energy control dedicated to pumping, it seems interesting to know the benefits of a new technique based on the complementarities of two renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. The climate’s dependence requires a complex modelling and more optimization methods for controlling of hybrid system. Moreover, in recent years, technological progression at hardware and software enables researchers to process these optimization problems using embedded platforms. For this paper, we apply the approach bond graph to model a complex system. Our hybrid pumping installation contains a photovoltaic generator, a wind source, converters and an induction motor-pump group. The numerical closed-loop simulation of the complete model in an appropriate environment allows us to generate an optimisation control whose the appropriate frequency depends on meteorological conditions (wind speed, insulation and temperature). The implementation of this control and the experimental measurements validate the optimum efficiency and verify operation reliability of our hybrid structure.
