Abstract

A continuous-control set model predictive control (C-MPC) for speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) fed by a solar photovoltaic (PV) array driving water pump is implemented in this paper. The controller improves the dynamic performance and reduces the steady-state errors. The maximum power point operation of solar PV array is performed using perturb and observe maximum power tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The PMSM is operated by estimating the rotor angular position using back-emf based position sensing method. This eliminates the need of mechanical position sensor. The performance of C-MPC in PMSM drive-system under variable solar insolation, is obtained at starting, steady-state and during dynamics on MATLAB/Simulink platform. A laboratory prototype of the PMSM drive system is developed to validate the performance of the controller.
