EDC Solar and Battery Powered Drives

The document discusses different types of solar powered water pump drives. It explains that centrifugal pumps require low starting torque while reciprocating pumps require higher starting torque of up to three times the rated torque due to stiction. It also notes that the output power of centrifugal pumps is proportional to the cube of speed, so it decreases drastically with lower speeds, whereas for reciprocating pumps the torque and output reduction is slightly more than the reduction in speed. The document also discusses using induction motors and batteries to drive solar pumps and the advantages and disadvantages of battery-driven systems.

Solar Powered Pump Drives:

• Solar Powered Pump Drives: Centrifugal and reciprocating.


• Their speed-torque characteristics are shown in below

Solar Powered Pump Drives:
• Centrifugal pump requires only a small torque to
start
• whereas reciprocating pump owing to stiction
may require as much as three times the rated
torque.
• In centrifugal pump the output power is
proportional to the cube of speed,
• and therefore, drastically reduces as the speed is
reduced;
• for example, the output power reduces to half at
a speed of 80%.
Solar Powered Pump Drives:
• In reciprocating pump, since with a reduction
in speed the torque reduces only by a small
amount
• The percentage reduction in output is slightly
more than the percentage reduction in speed.

Solar Pump using Induction Motor
Solar Pump Drive with a battery :
Solar Pump Drive with a battery :
Advantages:
• Battery drive can provide large torque.
• It is therefore suitable for reciprocating pumps
necessary in some applications where high
pressure is required, e.g. pumping water from
deep wells etc.
Solar Pump Drive with a battery :
Disadvantages:
• it requires frequent maintenance, which can
be a serious problem in remote places and
• a charge controller is required to protect it
from overcharge and excessive discharge.
Closed loop control of BLDC Drives
Advantages of VRM
• Rugged construction
• Low maintenance
• Long life
• Lower cost of motor and converter
compared to all other ac drives
• Fast response owing to large torque to
inertia ratio
• Simple control
• High efficiency and high reliability
Disadvantages of VRM
• Torque ripple and high noise
• Several motors cannot be operated from a
single converter
• Rotor position sensing is required
• Although, the Switched Reluctance Motor
drives are still at the developmental stage,
their applications are projected to grow
fast
