Abstract

In this paper, a DC/DC converter strategy is employed for solar water-pumping application. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control strategy is incorporated in order to extract maximum available power from the solar irradiation. In rural areas, the fields will be normally located far from the village, so it will not be able to extend the connection from the grid to such places. Thus, here standalone PV systems will be appropriate for powering pumps and other loads on the fields. In this paper, the performance of various DC–DC converters like boost, CUK, and SEPIC with MPPT techniques like P and O, fuzzy and NN (RBFN) is studied to identify the more suitable converter for the pumping application.
