Control and energy management of photovoltaic pumping system with battery storage

Abstract

This paper presents control and energy management of a stand-alone power pumping system with a battery storage. The proposed system consists of a photovoltaic generator (PV) and a battery bank which both supply an induction moto-pump. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is used to extract the maximum power. In our work, we have used Perturb & observ (P&O) and Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) method. The induction motor is controlled using field oriented control (FOC). The obtained simulation results using Matlab/Simulink are presented and discussed.
