Influence of photovoltaic DC bus voltage on the high speed PMSM drive

In this paper, the high speed Photo voltaic (PV) powered permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive is investigated. The PV electrical vehicle application is prospected, in order to highlight the irradiation effect on the PV panel feeding the PMSM. This yields to the direct effect on the inverter DC Bus behavior. This last is influencing the PMSM operating modes as a vehicle engine. The field oriented control (FOC) strategy is used to operate the motor and the field weakening method is The overall proposed control system is tested through computer simulation using MATLAB/Simulink, where the system efficiency is verified for a wide speed range and under the two DC bus voltage cases. The obtained simulations results are satisfactory and confirmed the usefulness of the overall proposed control algorithm.
