Battery integrated SPV powered SRM Driven Water Pump

Abstract

A Switched reluctance motor driven water pumping system powered by solar photovoltaic array (SPV) and a battery storage is presented in this paper. This ensures an uninterruptable water supply irrespective of climatic changes. PV array is the primary source. The optimisation of PV power is achieved using the InC MPPT control. Whenever PV power becomes inadequate to feed pump battery act as a backup. A bidirectional converter which act as a buck boost DC-DC converter through the bidirectional charging control enables battery operation. The SRM motor is consistently operated at rated speed. The system performance is examined through simulation and found adequate under all operation modes.
