The performance of a solar water pumping system is discussed in this paper the system consists of a photovoltaic pv array a permanent magnet pm dc motor and a helical rotor pump.
Solar water pumping system working.
Solar pump working solar pump types.
There are also submersible solar water pumps.
Solar powered water pumping system report pdf download abstract.
Hand pumps work by sucking which means they can only pump water up 25 from the static head of the water below.
A properly designed solar water pumping system will be efficient simple and reliable.
This limitation is due to barometric air pressure and the only way to get around it is to use a submersible pump that operates in the bottom of the well rather than the top.
The majority of the pumps are fitted with a 2 3 7 kw motor that receives energy from a 4 8 kw p pv array.
These pumps can lift the water up to 650 feet and fit within a big well.
Surface pumps are commonly found on farms or large irrigation systems where water needs to be moved from a lake or other body to fields or landscaping.
The system operates on power generated using solar pv photovoltaic system.
It s ideal for bigger applications such as farms irrigation or camping sites.
Solar water pump systems operate on direct current the shurflo 9300 solar water pump operates at 24v the grundfos sqflex solar water pump for wells operate as high as 300vdc.
100 w solar powered water pump.
The photovoltaic array converts the solar energy into electricity which is used for running the motor pump set.
The solar pumps are classified into four types namely submersible solar pumps surface solar pumps dc pumps and ac pumps.
The pumping system draws water from the open well bore well stream pond canal etc.
This system can also be used for irrigation of agricultu.
The 3 7 kw systems can deliver about 124 000 liters of water day from a total of 50 meters setoff head and 70 meters dynamic head.
The operation of the pv array is analysed using pspice.
Solar pv water pumping systems are used for irrigation and drinking water in india.
The solar water pump system can be used for residential water requirements and also for commercial uses.
Working of a solar water pumping system.
The poly solar panel kit has a 12 v submersible well pump.
