The aim of this paper is presentation of an approach for modeling , control and optimization of a photovoltaic pumping system which contains a PV generator , DC-DC boost converter, MPPT controller, DC-AC inverter and a BLDC motor. We use an intelligent control method for searching the maximum power point (MPP). This method uses a fuzzy logic controller applied to a drive a DC–DC converter to an...

The tuning of Linear Quadratic regulator (LQR) controllers is a challenge for researchers and plant operators. This paper presents a optimization and comparison of time response specification between Traditional ZN Tuning & Modified ZN Tuning controllers with Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for a speed control of a separately excited DC motor. The goal is to determine which control strategy de...

Speed control of DC Motor is vital in many applications. In this paper, an effort has been made to control the speed of the DC motor using fuzzy logic control (FLC) based on LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) program. LabVIEW provides a graphical programming environment suited for high-level or system-level design. The fuzzy logic controller designed to apply the requ...

This Paper presents a novel Cultural Algorithm based particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique which is intended to assist in converging to a accurate solution in the control of Linear Brushless Direct Current motor (LBLDC). With the novel PSO-based approach the optimal Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller parameters are deduced for efficient speed control of Linear Brushless DC ...

In this paper we propose a parallel structure of I-P-D (Integral minus Proportional minus Derivative) type fuzzy controller based on the conventional PID control theory, used to control the speed of DC motor. The conventional PID controller exhibit poor performance when applied to DC motor, it fails to perform satisfactory under parameter variation or load changes. The parallel I-P-D type fuzzy...

Steady-state analysis of a three phase induction motor can be carried out by using computer simulation software such as MATLAB. From Simulink/Power system block set (PSB) library, the induction motor model can be effectively used to simulate the effects of DC resistance, no-load and blocked rotor tests. These tests are performed on a machine to estimate the values of stator and rotor resistance...

Vector control is becoming the industrial standard for induction motor control. The vector control technique decouples the two components of stator current space vector: one providing the control of flux and the other providing the control of torque. The two components are defined in the synchronously rotating reference frame. With the help of this control technique the induction motor can repl...

Solar energy is the most promising non-conventional sources of energy. This paper proposes the working of single phase induction motor using solar arrays and power electronics. The SEPIC converter is taken as dc-dc converter which is designed and DC analysis has been done in CCM. Then inverter is used to convert dc power to ac power. The performance of SEPIC converter and inverter is measured, ...
