Stabilizing a DC Motor Speed of Photovoltaic Pumping System Using a Super Capacitor and Fuzzy Logic Controller

https://doi.org/10.17587/mau.20.669-676

Abstract

In this paper, two issues are discussed in a PV pumping system. Firstly, an evaluation of super capacitor is studied to reassure the storage of electrical energy and solve the intermittence problem of photovoltaic energy production in dark periods. Secondly, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is proposed to stabilize, on the one hand, the DC motor speed around a preferred level by the control of duty cycle of DC buck boost converter. On the other hand, FLC serves to control the charge and discharge of super capacitor according to the sunlight levels and its state of charge. In this framework, a complete photovoltaic pumping system model is simulated in MATLAB Simulink to discuss the run results at different levels of sunshine.
