SOLAR PUMP
INTRODUCTION SOLAR SYSTEM CONSISTING EQUIPMENT P V ARRAY PUMP MOTOR CONTROLLER BATERRY
FUNCTION P V ARRAY -It depends on radiation and temp. -it has current-voltage characteristics. PUMP - hydraulic machines which convert mechanicalenergy into hydraulic energy. e.g. centrifugal pump, piston pump.
FUNCTION MOTOR -to rotate the shaft of the pump. -linking with current ,voltage ,torque characteristics. CONTROLLER -it isolate p v array & give optimum i-v sitecondition to pump motor.
FUNCTION BATTERY - it storage electricity. -no output from p v array battery can use to drive the motor.
Working -principal
TECHNOLOGY Submerged multistage c.f. pump-set. Submerged pump with surface mounted motor. Reciprocating positive displacement pump. Floating pump-set. Surface suction pump-set. Solar thermal pumping system according to an organic rankine cycle. Solar pumping with stirling engines.

Wind-pump
-Un-attended operation. -easy maintanance. -long life.
-water storage require for low wind periods. -high system design.
Solar-pump
-unattended operation. -low maintanance. -long life.
-high capital cost. -water storage require for cloudy periods. -skill persons require.
Hydraulic-pump -unattended operation -easy to maintain -long life.
-require specific site condition.
Diesel & -quick & easy install gasoline pump -low capital cost -widely used
-short life. -noise & fume pollution. -high maintanance cost.
Energy demand for water pumping DH = (Dwell + Dhdyn) + (DHadd + Dhloss) (m ) -------------(1)
EHYD = kSC ´ g ´ r ´ V ´ DH [kWh, V in m3] --------------(2a) kSC = 1/3600 [converting kJ to kWh]
EHYD = KSC ´ V ´ DH [kWh] -------------

KSC = 1/367 [introducing also g and r as constants] PHYD = KSC ´ V¢ ´ DH [kW] ------------------- (3)

ATERNATIVE DESIGN & ITS DRAW-BACK There are two ways using solar power to solar-pump - directly connecting the solar panel to the pump. - charging the battery with solar-panel and then using the battery to run the pump. Draw-backs -if the pump is directly power to the solar panel then water can only the pumped when the sun is shining. -charging the battery first and then using that to run.
