MPPT of PV System under Partial Shading Conditions for SRM Driven Water Pumping Applications Using Pufferfish Optimization

Abstract

WPSs are necessary for drinking water, agriculture, and industry. A locally installed standby PV-powered WPS is often the finest water supply option. Multiple WPS devices may be required to accommodate demand. This research examines two WPSs supplied by a common PV system and converter. Electricity is needed to extract underground water. Many properties make switched reluctance motors (SRMs) popular with WPSs. The research explores a PV-powered switching reluctance motor (SRM) in a WPS without a battery bank to save money and maintenance. SRM speed is controlled using a sliding mode
