Abstract

In this paper, we propose a photovoltaic pumping system. Our system is composed of a photovoltaic generator, a boost converter (DC/DC) controlled by Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), an inverter (DC/AC), a motor-pump group (PMBLDC motor, centrifugal pump). The amount of energy produced by PV systems depends on environmental circumstances such as temperature and solar irradiance, the objective of our system is to ensure operation at a maximum power of the photovoltaic system, for this the Artificial Bee method Colony (ABC) was implemented.  to evaluate the best and most accurate controller for different weather conditions. The results show that the use of the ABC method is effective and has an excellent performance in terms of response time and can increase the stability of the photovoltaic pumping system. The simulations of the different parts of the system are developed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment.
