Developing and implementing the performance of induction motors used in well pumping systems

Abstract

Because water extraction from wells accounts for the bulk of energy consumption in irrigation operations globally, the sustainability and profitability of irrigation are strongly reliant on the energy efficiency of the pumping system. A technique that studies and improves the performance of motors used in well pumping systems is reported in this body of research as having been undertaken. In a similar manner, an experimental investigation of the energy efficiency of two modern systems of induction motor control has been carried out. According to the results, proper control performance is critical to achieving improvements in energy and efficiency. Using DTC-SVM for IM, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate a prototype of a pumping system that is powered by solar energy in the presence of changing radiation levels. Real-time MATLAB/Simulink simulations are used in conjunction with a dSpace 1104 board to carry out the hardware implementation
