A Review on Single Phase Asynchronous Motor Based Solar Water Pumping System

Prakash Kumar Jha, Shobhna Jain

Abstract


Solar systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in distribution and generating system. This is because of its large availability. Even though there is a large availability, it is not commonly used because large area with huge installation cost as well as maintenance cost is required. One of the major field in which solar energy used is water pumping for small scale irrigation. The need for renewable energy sources is on the rise because of the acute energy crisis in the world today. India plans to produce 20 Gigawatts Solar power by the year 2020, whereas we have only realized less than half a Gigawatt of our potential as of March 2010. Solar energy is a vital untapped resource in a tropical country like ours. The main hindrance for the penetration and reach of solar PV systems is their low efficiency and high capital cost.

 

Keywords: Solar PV systems, Water Pumping System, Solar energy, system efficiency
