Solar energy is a well-known renewable energy source that has the potential to address future energy challenges. This investigation investigates the potential of solar energy to operate water pumping apparatus. Two converters comprise the pump and motor system.
Two converters that may be installed are a DC-DC boost converter and a three-phase DC-AC inverter. The inverter is supplied with a consistent supply of power by a boost converter, which increases the voltage from the solar panel. Alternating current (AC) power is supplied to the motor component by the VSI, which functions as a converter. The current three-phase induction motor is a superior option due to its affordability and accessibility. The subsequent phase involves optimizing the power output of a solar panel following its installation. The exorbitant costs of constructing the structures are the cause of this issue. In an effort to
optimize operations, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is implemented. The induction motor's velocity can be altered by the V/F control system. The entire system design is included, in addition to the MATLAB/SIMULINK model.
