Abstract

Single Phase Induction Motor (SPIM) is widely used in industries at starting stage to provide high starting torque. The objective of the work is to develop a drive for Single Phase Induction Motor that does not use a start or run capacitor. In this work, the researchers present the details about Maximum Power Point Tracking using series-compensated Buck Boost Converter, resonant Direct Current (DC) to Alternate Current (AC) inverter and matrix converter-based drive. The proposed method provides a variable starting torque feature that can be adjusted depending upon machine load to ensure Power Quality (PQ). The system uses Series Compensated Buck Boost Converter (SCBBC) to derive the power from solar source and a Partial Resonant Inverter (PRI) between the Matrix Converter (MC) and DC link battery to reduce the switching loss. The application of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) ensures the improvement of power quality at driving terminals of SPIM. The proposed system has been mathematically modelled and simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK environment and was validated using standardized experimental verification.
