Abstract The Maximum-Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are implemented in PV systems to utilize the full available PV-output power. Such an output power heavily depends on the weather variant conditions. In this research, the Incremental Conductance (IC) MPPT algorithm is implemented to drive a boost dc/dc converter whose output dc voltage is input to a three-phase inverter. The inverter drives a three-phase induction motor. This research aims, to maintain the output speed and torque for induction motor, irrespective of changes in irradiance and temperature. Change in irradiance causes the change of output voltage from the PV panel, which causes the duty cycle (D) to vary. The duty cycle depends on both the output voltage from the PV module and the reference voltage. The applied speed controller was also able to control the speed, albeit with the changing weather conditions. The described system was simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and also experimentally using the DSP-DS1104 digital board. Field-oriented control (FOC) has been applied to control the induction motor’s current, speed, and torque. The results confirm that the IC algorithm accurately tracks the maximum power in various operational conditions with varying irradiance levels and temperatures. The educational objective of this research is to prepare a training program based on constructive education, to develop the concepts and skills of graduates of the faculty of Technology and Education - Department of Electrical Technology, and to measure their effectiveness |
