Abstract

In this paper, the maximum power point (MPP) of photovoltaic (PV) for vector control of an induction motor (IM) driving water is achieved. This paper implements and analyzes the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in one stage. The vector control scheme for an induction motor has been introduced to improve the reliability of the PV system. Furthermore, the Adaptive incremental conductance (AINC) method has been applied to track the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV plant. Additionally, the principles of vector control of an induction motor are used for voltage source inverter fed induction motor pumping system. The control scheme is simulated and validated considering the environmental conditions such as solar radiation and temperature. The scheme has been validated through MATLAB/SIMULINK. The obtained results and analysis authorize that, the proposed control system is accurate and effective. In addition, the results show that, the induction motor drive is stable during dynamic and ‎steady-state conditions.‎
