ANN-Based MPPT Controller for PEM Fuel Cell Energized Interleaved Resonant PWM High Step Up DC-DC Converter with SVPWM Inverter Fed Induction Motor Drive
Abstract
In this paper, ANN-based MPPT controller is implemented for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) powered Interleaved Resonant PWM High Step Up (IRPHS) converter and SVPWM technique is used for three-phase voltage source inverter to reduce THD. The proposed system is energized using PEM Fuel cell (PEMFC) with variable temperature as its output voltage is highly dependent on operating temperature. To extract maximum power during dynamic temperature, ANN-based MPPT controller is proposed. To control the speed of three induction motor, Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is placed between IRPHS converter and induction motor. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) control technique is developed to switch VSI system which leads to reduced harmonic content, better utilization of dc link voltage, improved output voltage and controlled output current. The output voltage of VSI is connected with induction motor through split inductor, to analyze the various parameters of induction motor. The performance of the proposed system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results are verified.
