Positive LUO Converter Fed BLDC Motor Driven DPPO Control MPPT for Solar PV Array based Application

This paper is about an efficient brushless dc (BLDC) motor drive for solar photovoltaic (SPV) Array based application. A positive luo converter is utilized to extract the maximum available power from the SPV array and the LUO converter is designed to operate on Discontinuous Conduction Mode DCM for Improve the PF. The LUO converter feeding the 3-phase supply to the BLDC motor via VSI circuit. Low frequency signals used for trigger the switches. Single sensor used for monitor the speed of the BLDC motor. A Direct Power Perturb & Observe (DPPO) algorithm is proposed to control the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a photovoltaic (PV) system. The proposed control algorithm eliminates phase current sensors and adapts a fundamental frequency switching of the voltage source inverter (VSI), thus avoiding the power losses due to high frequency switching. No additional control or circuitry is used for speed control of the BLDC motor. The speed control can be achieved through a VSI. An appropriate control of positive luo converter through a Direct power perturb and observe (DPPO) is proposed to control the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a photovoltaic (PV) system offers soft starting of the BLDC motor. The proposed system is designed and modelled such that the performance is not affected under dynamic conditions. The suitability of proposed system at practical operating conditions is demonstrated through simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink followed by an experimental validation. Citation: Priyanka K.
