Improving the Control Strategy of a Standalone PV Pumping System by Fuzzy Logic Technique

This work aims to develop an accurate model of an existing Photovoltaic Pumping System (PvPS) which is composed of an Ebara Pra-0.50T Asynchronous Moto-Pump (AMP) fed by Kaneka GSA-60 photovoltaic panels via a Moeller DV-51 speed drive. The developed model is then used to compare the performance of the system with its original control strategy based on classical indirect vector control strategy using PI speed controller and the proposed new control strategy based on Fuzzy Logic control technique for speed control and MPPT system. The obtained results of comparative simulations, induced in different dramatic variation of working conditions, show that the developed control strategy brought major enhancements in system performance.
