Standalone PV based Vector Controlled Induction Motor Drive for Renewable Energy Application

Abstract

Solar Photovoltaic array for renewable energy application incorporates perturb and observe algorithm fed boost converter and vector control fed induction motor drive algorithm. The system deals with the implementation of Perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm to extract maximum power point to control duty ratio of boost converter. A vector controlled voltage source inverter operates induction motor drive. The system is designed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software. The two proposed individual control algorithm works effectively.
