A Photo Voltaic System Based Dual Inverter

-This scheme presents an integrated solution for Photo Voltaic cell(PV) fed water-pump drive machine which uses an Open-End Winding Induction Motor (OEWIM). The dual inverter fed OEWIM drive achieves the functionality of a three level inverter and needs low value DC bus voltage. This helps in optimal arrangement of Photo voltaic cells, this can avoid large strings and helps in improving the PV performance with wide band-width of operating voltage. It also reduces the voltage rating of the DC-link capacitors and switching devices used in the system. The proposed control scheme achieves an integration of both Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and V/f control for the efficient utilization of the PV panels and the motor. The proposed control scheme requires the sensing of PV voltage and current only. Thus, the system requires less number of sensors.
