Abstract

This article presents a water pumping system based on a set of solar photovoltaic panels that uses an induction motor. Due to Scarcity of electricity and rising Petroleum products costs, the Mitigated Solar Water pump system has become a promising prospect in several regions for pumping water supply and community inundation (Anjanee Kumar Mishra and Bhim Singh, 2017. Solar photovoltaic array dependent dual output converter based water pumping using switched reluctance motor drive. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 10, pp.1-8). The solar pump operated with an AC converter provides the option in terms of size, robustness, efficiency and ease of maintenance. To optimize the energy generated by the photovoltaic phenomenon using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique. In the mentioned paper the author used PWM inverter, induction motor coupled with water pump along with photo-voltaic solar panels to supply it the required power and use it with MPPT to squeeze maximum possible power out of it.
