Solar off-grid power generation to drive water pump

An off-grid solar pump inverter is a device that converts DC power generated by solar panels into AC power to run a water pump. It is an ideal solution for areas without access to electricity or where the cost of running a diesel generator is prohibitive. Here in this work we use solar power generation to drive water pumping system with less conversion stages for improving overall system performance and improve efficiency. This system uses a solar PV array to generate electricity, which is then put into a voltage source inverter, which drives the PMSM, which is connected to a pump.

Are solar-powered water pumping systems more economical?

The reported literature on solar-powered water pumping system indicated that such systems are more economical at low pumping capacities compared to diesel and wind-powered water pumping systems and that solar-powered water pumping systems will compete with other powering systems if their overall cost is less than 5$/Wp.

Is solar water pumping a viable alternative to diesel pumping system?

Senol examined the performance and economic feasibility of water pumping systems powered by solar PV, in Turkey. It was observed that the PV solar pumping system was more suitable for the long run than diesel pumping system.

What is solar water pumping system size?

Solar water pumping systems size depends on the system component such as PV solar system, pumping system, and storage system. The pumping system's performance can be predicted through system components design. Many models have been developed for sizing PV pumping systems prediction.

What is a grid-connected solar pumping system?

The solar PV fuelled pumping system that is connected to the grid is described in 38. An intelligent fuzzy-based high-gain DC-DC converter is described in 39. An effective hybrid grid-integrated solar system is generated in 40. Even though it is a grid-connected PV pumping system, it only receives power from and is controlled by the utility grid.

Can a solar photovoltaic water pumping system work year-round?

Badescu developed a transient model for the year-round operation of a solar photovoltaic powered water pumping system equipped with both water storage and electric storage. The developed model was studied for a water pumping system at Bucharest, Romania.

Is a grid-connected hybrid water pumping system cheaper than a stand-alone system?

The authors compared the cost of stand-alone hybrid water pumping system with the grid-connected water pumping system both, with and without water turbine. The results of the analysis indicated that a grid-connected hybrid solar and wind water pumping system without a water turbine is the most economical choice.
