“…Among the various applications, water pumping system energy supplied by PV array is also the most common deployed system. Mudlapur et al (5) investigated the performance of water pumping systems under partial shading conditions. The proposed method discusses the implementation of a system with a sole configuration of the PV array.…”

Objectives: To examine if the changing of the series-parallel configuration of photovoltaic (PV) array can influence a simple DC drive performance. Methods: In this study, a simulated investigation is carried out for a PV system consisting of 30 panels arranged in 3*5 and 5*3, 3*6 and 6*3, 5*6, and 6*5 configuration. Two motors of rating 5 HP and 10 HP are used for the simulation. The first category includes the mentioned configuration in which the number of series PV panels (N s ) is higher than the number of the parallel panel (N p ) such as 5*3, 6*3, and 6*5. The second category includes the combination in which the number of PV panels connected in parallel is higher, such as 3*5, 3*6, and 5*6. Findings: The performance of the 5HP motor gets increased by 173.36%, and the performance of the 10 HP motor gets risen by 121.26% in 18 PV panel system when N s is higher than N p . Also, the system's overall efficiency gets improved when N s is higher than N p . Novelty: Usually, to vary the performance of the DC motor, power electronics circuitry is implemented. However, the performed simulated result shows that certain configurations will give better performance. Therefore, control for the DC motor's enhanced performance can be accomplished without the power electronics control system.

“…Various types of electric motors are used in PV water pumping system, each has its pro and cons, among them, DC motor [3], permanent magnet synchronous (PMSM) [4,5], brushless DC motor [6] and induction motor (IM) [7,8]. Recently, the PV water pumping systems driven by IM are frequently used because these engines provide several advantages such as simple control thanks to the evolution of power electronics, low cost and free-maintenance [9,10].…”

This paper aims to improve the induction motor (IM) performance for photovoltaic (PV) water pumping systems (PVWPS) without battery storage. The proposed technique is designed by direct torque control based on fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The purpose is to ensure optimal control of flux reference to reduce motor losses and hence, the efficiency of the PVWPS is improved. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is achieved using a variable step size Perturb and Observe (VSS P&O) algorithm. The PV system incorporating the proposed technique is tested and compared with the control scheme based on constant flux reference under a real annual data of atmospheric conditions of the target site. The simulation results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in terms of the reduction in stator current, optimizing flux, electrical speed and pumped water.

“…A large number of investigations have been made with different AC-DC drives for their suitability and performance in SPWPS [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The induction motor (IM)-driven pumps have low cost and generally available in the market [3][4][5]. Although, these systems are inexpensive, the performance of these systems under lower insolation levels is very inferior and they need large size of PV panel to operate [7,8].…”

“…Therefore, it is always recommended to use an efficient motor, which can lead to the significant reduction in the solar panel size. A large number of investigations have been made with different AC–DC drives for their suitability and performance in SPWPS [3–15]. The induction motor (IM)‐driven pumps have low cost and generally available in the market [3–5].…”

This study proposes a low-cost solar-powered water pumping system (SPWPS) utilising a proposed single-input dualoutput (SIDO) buck-boost converter with an efficient control technique for the switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive. The newly designed buck-boost converter provides a continuous input and output current to the motor with a low ripple content. This converter is also capable to minimise the size of DC-link capacitor and to provide a balanced dual output voltage supply. Owing to the fundamental frequency switching of a split DC mid-point converter, there is a considerable reduction in the semiconductor losses and provides an opportunity to eliminate the sensors from the motor side. In addition, an improved perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is also implemented in proposed system. The implemented MPPT algorithm has drift-free operation and an ability to control the pumping rate also at maximum PV power generation, which is usually difficult in standalone water pumping system. Test results are presented on an 875-Wp PV array fed a 1 hp pump to demonstrate sound agreement between the simulated and test results of proposed system.
