Solar Powered Marine Water Pumping Fuzzy Logic Controlled Modular Multilevel Inverter

For maritime water pumping applications, this article details the design and construction of a Modular Multilevel Inverter (MMI) to manage the Induction Motor (IM) drive with smart approaches. The suggested eleven-level inverter can regulate the output of a solar photovoltaic system powering an IM drive. Nearly half of a ship’s overall energy consumption is thought to go towards pumping systems. In light of this, this study explores and verifies the suggested low-complexity control architecture for a maritime water pumping system using an induction motor (IM) drive and a magnetic field inductor (MMI). For the purpose of performance enhancement, a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller and a Fuzzy Logic (FL) controller are analyzed and compared for use with the inverter. Better robustness has been compared with regard to peak overshoot, controller settling time, and inverter Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Designing and integrating MMI, IM drive, and intelligent controller specifically for maritime water pumping applications is the innovation of the proposed control method..
