Abstract: With fast decaying of fossil fuels and increased demand of electrical energy, the utilization of renewable energy sources have been increased in large extent during the recent years. Among various renewable energy sources solar energy plays a vital role, because it is used assolar powered street lights, solar water heater,and solar cooker and to derive induction motor using inverter circuit. Due to this reason, this paper is proposed to develop a model which consists of 1 ϕ induction motor driven by multi stages of power conversion circuit. The first stage is DC – DC boost converter where the duty cycle is controlled by Maximum power point tracking algorithm. The second stage is voltage source inverter, with open loop sub synchronous speed control method to achieve high performance during various operating speeds. A pulsewidth modulation strategy is developed to supply the pulses to the switches in the inverter so that the output voltage can be controlled based on the V/F method. The speed torque performance characteristics of the 1ϕ induction motor based on the developed control method is determined by using MATLAB simulation and also hardware results are obtained using PIC microcontroller.
