Abstract

Community enterprises engaged in rice field crab farming face significant challenges due to the absence of an electricity grid, resulting in energy shortages that hinder the operation of a 24-hour recirculating water system, essential for maintaining optimal conditions during the crab laviculture phase. Consequently, crab larva survival rates have experienced a significant 60% decline. To address this issue, this paper introduces the design and simulation of an off-grid photovoltaic solar-powered motor-driven water pumping system (PVWPS) using maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and charger controllers, to meet the power demands. The proposed MPPT-based neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC), in conjunction with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, maximizes the utilization of PV power for the motor pump. Additionally, a bidirectional converter facilitates battery charging and discharging. The motor speed, which directly influences the required pump flow rate, is regulated by controlling the voltage across the DC-linked capacitor, using an additional proportional-integral (PI) controller. The Kp, Ki, and Kd parameters of both the PID and PI controllers are meticulously adjusted through a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize control performance. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the implemented MPPT-NFC and charge controller. The energy utilization efficiency can be increased by up to 97% and the overall efficiency of the PVWPS is improved by up to 10.5%, effectively overcoming the power shortage challenge. Consequently, the proposed PVWPS, utilizing MPPT-NFC with PID-controller and a bidirectional converter PI-controller, enables 24-hour operation of the recirculating water system, with the anticipation of an increased crab larva survival rate.
