Abstract

This paper focuses on a proposal for a system based on a photovoltaic (PV) supply for a powered water pumping. The system consists in a switched reluctance machine (SRM) controlled by a multilevel converter and fed by PV panels associated to a DC/DC converter. The multilevel power converter proposed to control the SRM was designed to minimize the switches and to support the balance of the two input capacitors. The DC/DC converter consists in a hybrid solution that merges a Buck-Boost converter with a Sepic converter. They use a topology solution in which the input current presents a reduced ripple and only requires one switch. This DC/DC converter is also characterized by a dual output to adapt to the multilevel converter. The control system and a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm are also presented. The operation of this system will be verified by tests that are done by computer simulations.
