“…Furthermore, AC induction motors are smaller in size, making them better suited for PV applications in remote locations [30]. An added consideration is that many DC motor-driven PV pumps suffer from maintenance problems due to the presence of the commutator and brushes, making AC induction motor-based pumping systems a more viable choice where reliability and maintenance-free options are important factors [30] [31]. Most previous research analyzed systems utilizing permanent magnet motors [32] [33] [34].…”

The main purpose of this paper is to design and model a water-pumping system using a submersible multi-stage centrifugal pump driven by a three-phase induction motor. The system is intended for pumping water to the surface from a deep well using three power supply systems: a general network, a photo-voltaic (PV) system, and a PV system with a battery bank. These systems are used to compare two three-phase induction motors-namely, a motor with a drive and another one without a drive. The systems dynamic models are simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and the results compared with the manufacturer's data for validation purposes. The simulation results generally show system dynamics and expected performance over a range of operation.

“…However, there is a need for three hall sensors to accomplish the electronic commutation to drive the system at the maximum power point of the PV array. The IMs are utilized in solar systems in [29] and [30] for water pumping based on an inverter without using a DC-DC converter. However, as known, the IMs experience a relatively lower efficiency, in particular under partial loading cases due to the domination of the copper losses [17].…”

“…Furthermore, the demagnetization due to the weather conditions -in particular in the harsh environments where the ambient temperature might be high-is a great challenge. Hence, reluctance machines have been considered as good candidates in the pumping systems [30]- [33].…”

Solar Array Fed Synchronous Reluctance Motor Driven Water Pump: An Improved Performance Under Partial Shading Conditions

et al. 2019

An improved performance of a photovoltaic (PV) pumping system employing a synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) under partial shading conditions is proposed. The system does not include the dc-dc converter that is predominantly being utilized for maximizing the output power of the PV array. In addition, storage batteries are also not contained. A conventional inverter connected directly to the PV array is used to drive the SynRM. Further, a control strategy is proposed to drive the inverter so that the maximum output power of the PV array is achieved while the SynRM is working at the maximum torque per Ampère condition. Consequently, this results in an improved system efficiency and cost. Moreover, two maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are compared under uniform and partial shadow irradiation conditions. The first MPPT algorithm is based on the conventional perturbation and observation (P&O) method and the second one uses a differential evolution (DE) optimization technique. It is found that the DE optimization method leads to a higher PV output power than using the P&O method under the partial shadow condition. Hence, the pump flow rate is much higher. However, under a uniform irradiation level, the PV system provides the available maximum power using both MPPT techniques. The experimental measurements are obtained to validate the theoretical work. INDEX TERMS Photovoltaic pumping system, maximum power point trackers, synchronous reluctance machines, motor drives.

“…Difference between solar cells and PV modules is that PV modules are evenly sized and packed in weather resistant housing for easy installation. Study and application of photovoltaic devices is known as photovoltaics [8], [9], [10], [11]. Induction motor has wide variety of applications with more than 85% application in industries.…”

This paper shows the real implementation of fuzzy logic controller in an AC drive system (Induction motor Drive) under Solar PV array-based system. The switching of boost converter is controlled with help of fuzzy logic by taking inputs from solar PV array while For Inverter switching is done by using fuzzy logic controller by taking inputs from induction motor drive. Initially, 20 kW solar PV array is designed for feeding the 10Kw Induction motor drive with the help MATLAB/SIMULINK. The complete system gives reliable, smooth, efficient, lesser harmonic content level in the output.
