Solar and Grid Power Integration for Water Pump Application

Water pumping system plays an very important role in irrigation sector However its mostly depend on conventional electricity supply or diesel generator. Dependency on such supply create a burden on non renewable sources. Hence in order to reduce its burden on such energy an effort has been taken in this article. This article consist of solar water pump, which is not only fed by grid but also its supported by non renewable energy i.e. solar photovoltaic. Results in reduction of burden on conventional energy. Proposed system consist of single phase induction motor, DC Boost converter, Inverter and PV array. The system is simulated with MATLAB/SIMULINK software and its results show good response.
