Abstract
The most basic requirement of all human life is energy. Nowadays the demand of energy consumption in India is becoming more. The need for power and energy develops in tandem with the population. In recent days/times the most used energy resource is renewable energy resources which can be utilised for various purposes. The most extensively used renewable energy source is solar energy. Solar energy is the most widely used renewable energy source since it is abundant, unlimited, pollution-free, and environmentally benign. This document displays a solar-powered irrigation pumping system. The solar irrigation pump system is one in which the functioning of a three-phase induction motor coupled pump system is powered by solar energy. The key variables influencing the amount of energy collected from a PV module is solar irradiation and ambient temperature. As a result, output energy will be generated in the PV array. One of the MPPT techniques used to track maximum power and enhance PV system efficiency is the incremental conductance method. MPPT generates the needed pulse based on the PV module’s output voltage. The DC-DC Converter, which is a boost converter, receives this pulse. The boost converter is used to regulate the voltage of the PV system. The boost converter utilised to provide the boosted DC output is the Dickson voltage multiplier. Three-phase VSI is used to convert DC electricity into high-frequency AC power.
