Abstract

The three-phase squirrel cage induction motor is due to its many advantages, such as no maintenance, robust construction, etc., usually used for agricultural applications. PV induction motor drives are mainly used where no power is available. However, conventional two-level inverters that convert DC to AC do not provide a quality output. Therefore, this article describes an induction motor drive with a multilevel converter. In a home-based PV system, full use of battery packs is essential to reduce network dependency and improve reliability. To achieve this goal, it is important to keep the battery banks in an almost identical state of charge. This article proposes a technique for limiting battery banks by switching isolated panels. The selection of the isolated panels considers the irregularity of the position of the panels. In order to reduce network dependency and improve reliability, a switching model is developed for the photovoltaic system that considers the generation and load model. The proposed switching technique and model will be reviewed in the MATLAB / SIMULINK environment.
