Comprehensive Review On Solar Induction Motor Water Pumping System For Irrigation Application

traditionally water pumps are powered by diesel, electricity or gasoline. Traditional water pumps are more widely available and have low initial cost. However, solar water pumps are becoming popular in irrigation work and rural areas due to their ability to reduce electricity bills, eco-friendly nature and also eliminate the need of other fossil fuel. Moreover, solar water pumping system enable the farmers to start their irrigation process at any time without depending on utility grid. Also, it generates the revenue to enhance the financial condition of farmers. To further improve the performance of solar water pumping system, this paper presents the detail overview of different types of solar water pumping system utilized by the researchers. The detail review about different types of motor, converter system and types of control techniques is presented. A comparative analysis of different types of motors is carried and using induction in water pumping . Due to insufficient electricity and soaring diesel costs, solar energy based water pumping system has emerged as a promising alternative to the conventional electricity and diesel based pumping systems used in rural, urban and remote regions to pump water for community water supplies and irrigation. Solar water pump works on electricity generated using photovoltaic (PV) technology. The PV technology converts solar energy into electrical energy to run a DC or AC motor based water pump. This paper presents a comprehensive review of solar energy based water pumping system and technology including its historical background and principle of its functioning, various physical components and classification, parameters, such as environmental conditions and photovoltaic materials that has an effect on the overall performance of the system. Emphasis has been made on induction motor based solar pumping systems and their control methodologies including their advantages as well as disadvantages and future scopes in solar water pumping systems.
