“…Additionally, there are nearly 0.25 to 0.5 million new pumping sets being installed each year. The overall efficiency of pump sets being utilized for irrigation purpose has been found to be dismally low ( Manoharan et al, 2021 ). Existing inefficient pump sets have an average efficiency of 25–30%, but new star-rated energy-efficient pump sets (EEPS) have an average efficiency of 40–45% ( International Energy Agency (IEA), 2009 ; Saini, 2013 ).…”

The study was aimed at identifying the potential energy saving for groundwater pumping through enhanced efficiency of the pump sets. A total of 65 electrically powered tube wells were selected in the Sonipat district of the north Indian State of Haryana to study the energy use efficiency for groundwater pumping. The existing efficiency as well as the minimum expected overall efficiency of the tubewells were determined based on field survey, measurements, and applicable standard code of the Bureau of India Standards. The overall efficiencies of selected tube wells, computed based on actual measured power consumption, varied from 10.1% to 56.6% in the Sonipat block and 15.3% to 52.8% in the Rai block. The average energy requirement, for the selected tube wells, at the current efficiency level was 4,364.0 and 13,100.4 kWh for wheat and paddy crops, respectively, in the Sonipat block, while it was 3,424.8 and 10,280.9 kWh for wheat and paddy crops, respectively, in the Rai block. Analysis revealed that improving overall efficiency from the current level to the minimum expected level can lead to energy savings of 48.3% and 35.9% for tube wells in the Sonipat and Rai block, respectively. In the Rai block, where the groundwater level has declined significantly, the replacement of inefficient pumps should be done in tandem with crop diversification, improving water application efficiency and groundwater status by employing improved irrigation management practices and adopting groundwater recharge techniques.

India is working towards achieving sustainable development goals by 2030. One important goal of sustainable development is energy efficiency. Around 18% of total energy consumed in India is by agricultural pump sets. These pump sets are driven by induction motors. Thereby, design of induction motors meeting energy efficiency standards becomes the need of the hour. This paper provides a detailed design outlook for 3 phase, 4 pole, 50 Hz, induction motors between the power range of 11kW to 2.2kW to meet the IE3 to IE5 efficiency standards.
