Simulation Based Evaluation of PV Brushless Direct Current Motor For Rural Irrigation Requirements

Abstract

: Solar water pumping systems is a pro-active approach in agricultural applications. The paper presents mathematical model of Photo-voltaic(PV)panel, Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) controller considering hill climbing, perturb & observe algorithms, mathematical model of Brushless direct current (BLDC) motor simulations. PV panel connected to load with and without MPPT controllers are simulated and results are analyzed. The response of BLDC motor with changing irradiance are simulated and presented.
