Photovoltaic water pump inverter system drawing

What is direct driven solar PV water pumping system?

Direct driven solar PV water pumping system is shown in Fig. 4. In this system, electricity generated by PV modules is directly supplied to the pump. The pump uses this electric power to pump the water. As no backup power is available, the system pumps water during the daytime only when the solar energy is available.

How do you design a solar water pumping system?

When designing a solar pumping system, the designer must match the individual components together. A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1.

Can a solar photovoltaic water pumping system fulfil the demand?

SPVWPS ensures long product life and it has a very low maintenance cost. Hence, solar photovoltaic water system pumping can be a solution to fulfil the demand. The aim of this study is to design and simulate the solar photovoltaic water pumping system. Designing and simulation of an SPVWPS is being done by the software PVsyst Version 6.87.

Can a solar water pump be powered by an inverter?

An inverter converts DC output from solar panels into AC. Thus, with the correct inverter, most AC pumps can be powered by a solar array. Inverters are typically used in a solar powered water system when the pump capacity needed exceeds the capacity of the pump and motor combinations (or PV pump aggregates) that can take DC input.

What is solar photovoltaic water system pumping (spvwps)?

Most Farmers are using the same conventional techniques for irrigation purposes. As we know, the cost of fuel and electricity is rising constantly and due to no grid connection in rural areas, solar photovoltaic water system pumping (SPVWPS) is the best alternative for irrigation and other purposes.

When are inverters used in a solar powered water system?

Inverters are typically used in a solar powered water system when the pump capacity needed exceeds the capacity of the pump and motor combinations (or PV pump aggregates) that can take DC input. Pump and motor combinations that require AC input commonly have much higher capacities.
