HEAD OF THE DEPT : Mr.S PAVAN KUMAR(HOD) Aim of this project: The main objective of our project is to Design and Fabricate a Solar Water Pump so that it can be used by farmers and general public for the purpose of irrigation or domestic use at affordable cost. Solar energy is available in abundance and free of cost so it can be used to power the water pumps which were previously used to run on electricity generated in coal plants. By using this solar powered pump we can reduce the usage of power generated from traditional coal plants and move a step ahead towards renewable energy. PROJECT REVIEW ON SOLAR POWERED PUMP INTRODUCTION :
SOLAR POWRED PUMP runs on electricity generated by
photovoltaic panels or the radiated thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity or diesel run water pumps. The operation of solar powered pumps is more economical mainly due to the lower operation and maintenance costs and has less environmental impact than pumps powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE). Solar pumps are useful where grid electricity is unavailable and alternative sources (in particular wind) do not provide sufficient energy. MAIN COMPONENETS USED IN THE PROJECT A photovoltaic solar powered pump system has three parts: Solar panels. The controller The pump The solar panels make up most (up to 80%) of the systems cost. The size of the PV-system is directly dependent on the size of the pump, the amount of water that is required (m³/d) and the solar irradiance available. The Pump: The Direct current motors are used for small to medium applications up to about 4 kW rating, and are suitable for applications such as garden fountains, landscaping, drinking water for livestock, or small irrigation projects. Since DC systems tend to have overall higher efficiency levels than AC pumps of a similar size, the costs are reduced as smaller solar panels can be used Solar panel : Solar panel is the main component of the project as it the main
source of the power to the pump.
. Line diagram : Applications : Irrigation : It can be used in drip irrigation, micro irrigation, lift irrigation and agriculture water supply. It can be used for domestic purposes to fill over head tanks It can be used distillation of water . Pond water management and water transfer It can be used to drain out the water from cellars and houses in case of excessive rains Typical diagram : Solar water pump’s application illustrated graphically Advantages of this project: Solar water pump operate anywhere the sun shines System productivity increases in summer when water requirement is usually greater Require minimal service and maintenance Powered by clean, renewable energy Virtually free to operate, compared to the cost of diesel-powered generators and grid electricity which is constantly increasing Easily relocated to meet seasonal or variable location needs
