Abstract

In this paper, a speed sensorless vector controlled permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driven single-stage solar water pumping system is proposed. The back-emf based rotor position estimation technique is used. The PMSM speed is controlled through sliding mode controller (SMC) based vector control. The solar photovoltaic (PV) array feeds power to a voltage source inverter (VSI), which drives the PMSM. The PV array is regulated at maximum power point by VSI, which also controls the armature winding currents. The hysteresis current controller produces switching signals for VSI. The reference speed command is generated using output of DC link SMC controller and DC link feed-forward term. The proposed system is designed, modeled and simulated on MATLAB/Simulink platform. The performance of proposed system is obtained for starting, steady-state and dynamic conditions under variable solar irradiations. Test results are obtained on a developed prototype of the system in the laboratory to validate the control algorithm and modeling of the system.
