New Generation PV Powered Country Boat Using Buck-Boost Chopper and PWM for Green Sailing

This paper presents a country boat for green sailing utilizing the application of stand-alone photovoltaic system using Buck-Boost chopper and PWM inverter which simplifies the power system and stabilize the economic factor. From the viewpoint of environmental protection it is very much essential to regulate the amount of exhaust gases emitted from the diesel engines which are used in the normal country boat for sailing in short or long distances. In general, nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxide and particulate matters are considered as toxic substances in exhaust gas from diesel engines, as it causes several fatal diseases. Hence a green sailing country boat, which is solar photo voltaic powered is an alternative solution of diesel engine fitted country boat. Performance and control of DC-DC chopper and PWM inverter are essential in PV applications. The chopper and inverter used here are Buck-Boost chopper and PWM inverter respectively, which feed an AC single phase induction motor load. The PV panel, Buck-Boost chopper, PWM inverter and single phase induction motor are modeled using Sim-Power System blocks in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
