“…However, most of the pumps reported in the literature to date are focused mainly on either pumping water efficiently or in designing converters for extracting maximum available power to drive motors. See [1]- [5], for example. Authors in [1] illustrated the application of BLDC motor fed by photovoltaic (PV) source for submersible pumps.…”

This paper presents an experimental approach for the design of a brushless DC (BLDC) motordriven pump that is intended to pump fluids with unknown specific gravity. We propose a control mechanism that will enable the pump to operate at a higher efficiency irrespective of fluid types. Experimental results from a prototype pump system controlled by two different open-loop controllers are used for determining the optimized closed-loop control algorithm to run the pump while tracking its higher efficiency point. A set of computer simulations is conducted based on a conventional finite-element method to design the best possible BLDC motor, which is employed in the proposed fault-tolerant and efficient pump. Experimental results are presented to validate the efficiency of the proposed pump and also compared with that of a commercial motor design simulator.

“…The variation of the magnetic reluctance in the SRM is essential to have torque (reluctance torque), and it can be properly controlled by accurately controlling the time of energizing and deenergizing the stator phases. In this machine the torque (Tj) developed by each phase can be expressed by (13) as function of phase current, ij, self-inductance coefficient (Lj) which depends on the rotor position.…”

“…To overcome some of these disadvantages, several solutions of pumping systems powered by SPV have emerged in recent years [8]- [10], providing low operating and maintenance costs, robustness, reliability and autonomous operating capacity. Typically, water pumping systems are driven by direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) motors [11]- [13]. A detailed comparison between permanent magnet DC motors (PMDC) and AC motors for solar-powered water pumping systems is discussed in [14,15].…”

The present paper describes a solar photovoltaic (SPV) powered water pumping system employing a switched reluctance motor (SRM) and a merged Sepic-Ćuk DC-DC converter. The proposed solution was designed to use efficiently the available solar energy in order to supply water pumping systems. Solutions of this kind assume a special importance in the current scenario of natural and renewable resources optimization. The proposed DC-DC converter operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM), which combined with a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller, helps to optimize the power of the solar photovoltaic panel (SPV). The proposed DC-DC topology is characterized by high voltage static gain when compared with the classical boost topology and reduced voltage stress across the power switch and diodes. Several simulation and experimental results are presented in order to confirm the characteristics of the proposed solution for water pumping systems.
