1. Introduction

In recent days Bridling renewable electricity sources such as wind power, sun strength, tidal, and so forth. is essential for overcoming troubles because of international warming and environmental degradation resulting from using fossil fuels. Among all renewable strength assets, sun PV is abundant, has high strength density and is modular and scalable. Solar PV is used both in grid linked packages and standalone packages, it may be used in a huge variety of applications from a microwatt Internet of Thinks (IoT) implement to a megawatt scale solar PV plant [1, 2]. solar PV operates in an extensive range of DC voltages, at the same time as electrical and digital structures additionally have different tiers of DC voltage necessities [3].Subsequently, it’s far important to use power electronic interfaces for solar PV packages, for the reason that electricity from solar PV is intermittent in nature, it is necessary to mix electricity storage systems and different renewable electricity assets to maintain reliable operation for standalone PV structures. This may be executed through many single input two port DC-DC converters in parallel or multiport DC-DC converters. The centralized structure of multiport converters makes use of fewer switches, has compact shape, decrease cost, higher performance and avoids the want to use common unique structures compared to multiple single input/output DC-DC converters [4, 5] and [6]. Shen et al. [4] have proposed a three port converter incorporating solar PV, battery as power assets feeding DC hundreds with galvanic isolation. The manage shape worried a complex hybrid modulation technique (PWM + PFM) with gentle switching. Ray et al. proposed an included dual output DC-DC converter which had each buck and boost outputs using PWM to modify output voltages [7]. Various feasible topologies for multiport converters were discussed in [8]. However, using more than one inductor results in reduced converter size and cost. So as to overcome those problems, single inductor more than one enter/output topologies have been proposed. Unregulated inductor and couple of output DC-DC converters primarily based on equipment size, buck-boost enhance topologies had been proposed in diverse literature [9-13], this reduces the price, circuit complexity and consequences in greater performance. Nami et al. [14] have added a novel DC-DC multi-output increase converter that could percentage its total output among the special series of output voltages used in low and excessive strength packages. Considerably, two switches for one output are used and DC-DC multi-output control mechanism becomes complex. Further, the related output energy cannot provide individual regulation in a balanced way.

Boora et al. [15] also have illustrated a unique multi-output DC-DC converter topology, which has the talents of step-up and step-down conversion. In this topology, a couple of output voltages may be produced and might be utilized in various programs like multilevel converters with diode-clamped topology or electricity resources with distinct voltage tiers, but a couple of number of switches inside the converter outcomes in electricity losses. Patra et al. [16] have introduced a SIMO DC-DC converter with the functionality of producing greenback, boost, and inverted outputs simultaneously. Though, three switches for one output are needed for SIMO. This mechanism is appropriate most effective for the low output voltage and strength applications, and its strength conversion receives degraded as a result of the hard switching operation. Chen proposed [17] additionally have examined a more than one-output DC-DC converter with shared zero-converter switching (ZCS) lagging leg. Despite the fact that this converter with the tender-switching assets can reduce the switching losses, this integration scheme with three complete-bridge converters is greater complicated such that the purpose of high-efficiency power conversion is tough to be achieved, and its fee has an inevitable rise. Attributable to the drastic growth in the intake of strength for the beyond few decades, sources and environmental demanding situations are growing as much as be established, and therefore the strength minimizing time is one among the largest troubles desiring respond. Renewable power assets and the electric machines, inside the form of pollution less and greatly innovative electricity conveying devices with low noise characteristic, own a massive role in solving the difficulty. Most of the renewable resources, PV generation is unexpectedly getting vast popularity, crediting to the intrinsic advantages along with no fuel rate, no noise and put on as a result of non-inclusion of mobile components, lesser renovation and shortage of any inexperienced-house gasses [18].

One among the well-known applications of the PV power utilization is the water pumping applications powered by an electric motor. In this utility, the expenses of PV device and water pumps are expected to reduce greater steeply over the approaching few years, it isn't a surprise that the need for the PV energy turns into broadly spread. Those factors can make the PV water pumping systems greater economic inside the near destiny. In remote areas that are faraway, PV water pumping gadget may be utilized in several applications like household expenditure, water for irrigation, agricultural purposes, and village water supplies. The blessings of employing water pumps pushed via PV device consist of lesser upkeep, easy set up and robustness[19].An induction motor is appreciably hired in PV array pushed water pumping for the functions of irrigation and home makes use of as it’s miles suitable for programs in polluted and lone regions, lesser fee, reliability and occasional maintenance needs are proposed [20]. A DC motor is also utilized by Bhim singh [21] however because of the need for high protection demand and to the presence of the brushes and commutator, it isn't always suitable for water pumping. Consequently, a significant efficiency of a permanent magnet synchronous motor has stimulated the research specialists to apply this motor in places where a high energy submersible water pumping gadget is deployed. A few researches in the region of PV array fed water pumping utilising a synchronous reluctance motor and switched reluctance motor were carried out by researchers (Nabil et al. 2013) [22],but those dc motors have no longer won plenty popularity for PV array fed water pumping until now, likely owing to a completely excessive torque ripple and acoustic noise trouble this is gift with this drive. In contrast the BLDC motor has several advantages over conventional motor.

Like higher speed and torque traits, good performance and reliability, longer operation life, noise-free performance and much less electromagnetic interference proposed [23, 24]. Several researchers Luque et al. (2011) [25] have centered on this drive for PV array primarily based water pumping. A Permanent magnet Synchronous motor (PMSM) is used for driving the water pump depending on PV array that depicts its suitability for water pumping. At present more wide variety of variable velocity PMSM drives are developed into pump merchandise for growing the product overall performance and device effectiveness. A DC-DC converter is typically placed between the PV array and B6-Inverter fed PMSM pump for tracking the top of the line working factor of the PV array exploiting a MPPT method [26].

2. Materials and methods

The proposed research indicates a new non-remoted Dual input Single Output Zero Voltage Switching Resonant Converter (DISOZVS) simply referred to as DISOZVS converter which has step-up and step-down conversion competencies. On this topology, special output voltages may be produced that is probably useful in several packages like diode-clamped multi-level inverters, multi-voltage DC-networks that deliver constant power with diverse demands and velocity control of PMSM. The sun PV module is the number one source of strength for the standalone PMSM load. The energy generated through the solar PV module for a given temperature and stage of irradiation relies upon on PV voltage and current drawn by the demand. Subsequently, a good way to do load matching, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) manage is used to set the converter at Maximum Power Point (MPP) via various the obligation ratio of the proper transfer and for this reason the contemporary drawn by using the converter from the solar PV module. There are numerous algorithms used to tune the MPP like consistent voltage, perturb and observe, incremental conductance and beta method [25]. Among them, a simple perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm is chosen for the proposed device. The proposed block diagram using (DISOZVS) converter are shown in Fig. 1.

2.1. Conventional circuit diagram

The conventional circuit diagram is shown in Fig. 2. The researcher has proposed the parametric value of (C0 and C1) of 24 V, 70 W solar PV module for the system and the same is modeled using the five parameter model [27]. The boost derived single inductor based dual input/output DC-DC converter (SI-DIO) used in the proposed power flow management system is shown in Fig. 2. It consists of diode Din which interfaces the solar PV module to the converter and also prevents reverse power flow to the solar PV module. The capacitor C in is connected in parallel to the solar PV module to reduce the solar PV voltage ripples. The switches S2 and diode D2 is used to set the battery as an output to store excess solar PV power. The switch S3 is used to set the battery as an input to supply power to the standalone DC load. The capacitor Co is connected across the output to reduce the output voltage ripples. The converter has two modes of operation namely dual output boost mode (DOBM) when the power from solar PV module exceeds DC load demand and dual input boost mode (DIBM) when there is a deficit. The circuit configuration for both the modes is shown in Fig. 2 [27].

Fig. 2Conventional schematic circuit diagram [27]

Conventional schematic circuit diagram [27]

During DOBM, the solar PV module acts as a power source feeding the battery through the switch S2 and the DC load through the diode D1. The single inductor based dual IO removed (input/output) DC-DC converter has three states as shown in Fig. 2. In the first state, the inductor is charged by power from the solar PV module through switch Sboost. In the second state, switch Sboost is turned off and the inductor discharges to the DC load through the diode D1. In the third state, the surplus power is discharged to the battery by turning on the switch S2. Since, the required voltage of the standalone DC load is higher than that of the battery, the diode D1 is reverse biased and the standalone DC load is cut off. Typical waveforms for the inductor current IL, the inductor voltage vl, the battery current ibat and the output DC load voltage vo for this mode is shown in Fig. 2 [27].

Wu Deng proposed [28], an improved ant colony optimization (ICMPACO) algorithm based on the multi-population strategy, co-evolution mechanism, pheromone updating strategy, and pheromone diffusion mechanism is proposed to balance the convergence speed and solution diversity, and improve the optimization performance in solving the large-scale optimization problem. In the proposed ICMPACO algorithm, the optimization problem is divided into several sub-problems and the ants in the population are divided into elite ants and common ants in order to improve the convergence rate, and avoid to fall into the local optimum value. The pheromone updating strategy is used to improve optimization ability.

Wu Deng proposed [29] the improved PSO algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) in order to construct an optimal LS-SVM classifier, which is used to classify the fault. Finally, the proposed fault diagnosis method is fully evaluated by experiments and comparative studies for motor bearing for reduction of vibration.

Another algorithm MGACACO by Wu Deng [30] proposed makes use of the exploration capability of GA and stochastic capability of ACO algorithm. In the proposed MGACACO algorithm, the multi-population strategy is used to realize the information exchange and cooperation among the various populations. The chaotic optimization method is used to overcome long search time, avoid falling into the local extremum and improve the search accuracy.

Huimin Zhao, Wu Deng [31] proposed the EEMD method which is used to decompose the vibration signal into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with a different physical significance. The correlation coefficient analysis method is used to calculate and determine three improved IMFs, which are close to the original signal. The multi-scale fuzzy entropy with the ability of effective distinguishing the complexity of different signals is used to calculate the entropy values of the selected three IMFs in order to form a feature vector with the complexity measure, which is regarded as the inputs of the support vector machine (SVM) model for training and constructing a SVM classifier (EOMSMFD based on EDOMFE and SVM) for fulfilling fault pattern recognition.

Wu Deng [32] proposed Another approach, the Alpha-stable distribution theory is used to replace the uniform distribution in order to escape from the local minima in a certain probability and improve the global search ability. Next, the DOADAPO algorithm is used to solve the constructed multi-objective optimization model of gate assignment in order to fast and effectively assign the gates to different flights in different time.

Huimin Zhao, Wu Deng [33] proposed damage degree identification method based on high-order difference mathematical morphology gradient spectrum entropy (HMGSEDI) is proposed in this paper to solve the problem that fault signal of rolling bearings are weak and difficult to be quantitatively measured. In the HMGSEDI method, on the basis of mathematical morphology gradient spectrum and spectrum entropy, the changing scale influence of structure elements to damage degree identification is thoroughly analyzed to determine its optimal scale range. The high-order difference mathematical morphology gradient spectrum entropy is then defined in order to quantitatively describe the fault damage degree of bearing. The discrimination concept of fault damage degree is defined to quantitatively describe the difference between the high-order differential mathematical entropy and the general mathematical morphology entropy in order to propose a fault damage degree identification method.

From various literature and analysis from the conventional system switching losses across the switch S1 is high which makes the system with reduced efficiency and the dynamic solar array varies, to overcome this DISOZVS converter is proposed.

While partial shading occurs in the PV array, battery within the shape of strength storage device and a bidirectional DISOZVS converter are used to meet the call for strength. Among the various configurations of PV era, a stand-by myself PV-battery powered backup machine will be applied in diverse kinds of applications. A chargeable battery is generally exploited inside the device for electricity saving while the solar electricity generated exceeds the energy wished via the weight. On this the auxillary switch (S2) is in an active part. The electricity stored can be useful in maintaining the gadget operation at the same time as the shading to the PV panel is executed. Hence the boost switch (S3) is also in an energetic element. Two Power switches (S2 and S3) used in the converter structure act as the leader controllable factors controlling the strength waft of the converter. The proposed schematic DISOZVS converter are shown in Fig. 3.

4. Conclusions

The DC to DC converter is advantageous in renewable energy system at different input condition along with low cost conversion circuit. Since single input single output DC-DC converter are more complicated and expensive. The proposed research utilizes Dual-input-single-output ZVS converter which has high efficiency, voltage gain, less complexity and low cost. In addition to that B4 inverter has been used for fault tolerant control. it reduces switching current, frequency, high output voltage. We can reduce the heat loss, which can increase the switches life span. It also reduces the cost and improves efficiency, but also improves the performance of the system. Permanent magnet synchronous motor are compact, needs low maintenance and highly reliable, so it is proposed and convenient result were carried out. Thus, hardware implementation and MATLAB simulation verifying the feasibility of the system has carried out. The efficiency of the proposed DISOZVS converter is achieved about 93.79 % by reducing the switching losses across the boost switch. The implementation of the proposed work is practically used for industrial and agricultural application.
