Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Based on In-Phase Voltage Injection for Electroplating Industry Factory

Abstract:

This paper presents an application of stand-alone Photovoltaic (PV) systems for AC/DC power conversion for electroplating systems. In these control systems, the external source voltage is generated from a PV stand-alone, the proposed voltage injected method by in phase controller into line input voltage secondary of power transformer. The electroplating process is a capacity 0-250A maximum output system with uses a 12-pulse diode rectifier, using a conventional 3-phase bridge 6-pulse diode rectifier. The process voltage control to electroplating, that performance of the proposed series voltage controller method (producing injected voltage), contribute to voltage control by injecting or absorbing active power, to electroplating. The advantage of this principle will result the system that can saving energy 50% and compensation 100 percent during a power outage. The experimental, and simulation results by MATLAB program are used as a guideline for analyzing and designing the parameters of electroplating system.
