Performance Evaluation of Switched Reluctance Motor in PV-fed Water Pump System with Different Controllers

Abstract

Abstract: The agricultural motors need a more precise control
and simple operation to have wet fields and better irrigation
systems. The PV driven SRM is considered in this paper because,
the robust operation and versatile speed control methods are
available for this motor. The closed loop control of the motor is
also tested, and a comparative analysis has been done for various
controllers applied to SRM and the performance characteristics
have been analyzed. The results obtained in the PID controller,
Fuzzy logic Controller, SMC controller and the hybrid Fuzzy -
neural controller, the closed loop control are compared to the
open loop control.
