Integration of ANN-Based MPPT and SEPIC Converter for Improved Efficiency in Solar-Powered BLDC Motor Drives

This proposed work explains an Integration of ANN based MPPT and SEPIC converter for an Improved Efficient Solar-Powered BLDC motor drive system. The BLDC motor powered by photovoltaic system and power boosted with a SEPIC converter<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">[1]</sup>. A three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) used for conversion of DC voltage to AC which supplies for driving the motor. The ideal speed in motor is achieved through the modulation of PWM signals with the assistance of proportional and Integral controller. ANN-based MPPT achieves maximum energy extraction from the PV system with enhanced efficiency and motor control for renewable energy applications<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">[2]</sup>.
