Due to the increase in electricity and diesel costs, solar photovoltaic pumping systems have become a good solution, especially in rural areas. This work presents a standalone photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system (PVWPS) driven by an induction motor without energy storage to improve the pumping system’s performance. First, a comparison is made between two types: perturb and observe (P&O) method and incremental conductance (INC) MPPT method with a variable step size that is automatically adjusted. Studying these two techniques helps to understand which one can result in a system with less oscillation and greater efficiency when tracking the maximum power point from the PV panel under sudden irradiation conditions. This MPPT works on the operating duty cycle of the boost converter. Then, that converter combines with a voltage source inverter (VSI) to convert DC power to AC power. Second, we use indirect field-oriented control (IRFOC), which drives the three-phase of an induction motor in turn to run the centrifugal pump. The simulation results of this work were obtained using the MATLAB Simulink platform.

“…In general, a three-phase engine powered by a PV generator is relatively well known in the literature, while the single-phase induction motor dedicated to low-power applications (which is widely used for domestic purposes) has never been studied. Author in [27] analysed the performance of a single-phase induction motor (SPIM) connected to PV generator via an inverter. The mathematical model of the suggested structure has been addressed.…”

“…In the same study, the MPPT power detection algorithm, which contributes to the good operation of the pump, was used to meet the required flow rate and head. The approach proposed by [27], therefore has the advantage of not using the DC-DC converter and has a low cost. The obtained results of the tracking process lead to higher efficiency of the overall functioning of the pumping system.…”

Numerical Performance Evaluation of Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping System under Partial Shading Condition using Modern Optimization

Renewable energy is an attractive solution for water pumping systems particularly in isolated regions where the utility grid is unavailable. An attempt is made to improve the performance of solar photovoltaic water pumping system (SPVWPS) under partial shading condition. Under this condition, the power versus voltage curve has more than one maximum power point (MPP), which makes the tracking of global MPP not an easy task. Two MPP tracking (MPPT) strategies are proposed and compared for tracking MPP of SPVWPS under shading condition. The first method is based on the classical perturb and observe (P&O) and the other method is based on a Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA). Based on extensive MATLAB simulation, it is found that the SSA method can provide higher photovoltaic (PV) generated power than the P&O method under shading condition. Consequently, the pump flowrate is increased. But, under normal distribution of solar radiation, both MPPT techniques can extract the maximum power but SSA is considered a time-consuming approach. Moreover, SSA is compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA). The obtained results ensure the superiority of SSA compared with PSO and GA. SSA has high successful rate of reaching true global MPP.

“…The starting motor model (BM) is a single-phase permanently split capacitor motor with rated data: voltage 220-240 V, frequency 50 Hz, rated current 1.32 A, rated power 124 kW, product of the company MicronTech. Calculation of the operating characteristics of the single-phase capacitor motors is based on the method of symmetrical components and the double field revolving theory [15,16]. Often these analytical calculations require a lot of time due to the complex mathematical model of the motor that is becoming even more complex when the optimization is in question.…”

Single-phase motors are known for their small power ratings and their usage in various household appliances. Although they are not large electricity consumers, their widespread application contributes to the overall electricity consumption. In addition, standard IEC 60034-30-1:214 defines the efficiency levels for single- and three-phase motors and stipulates the increased electrical efficiency for the electrical motors. Therefore, this paper sets the parametric analysis of permanently split capacitor motor with five different design parameters that have impact on the efficiency of the motor. As an output from the parametric analysis, two different optimized motor models are obtained with increased efficiency. The impact of each parameter on motor efficiency—as well as on the other operating characteristics, like starting torque, overloading capacity, rated current, starting current, total losses, and power factor—is analyzed and adequate conclusions are derived. The obtained motor models are verified with Finite Element Method (FEM) for magnetic flux density distribution.
