DESIGNING OF SOLAR POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR DIFFERENT HP MOTORS IN IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR RURAL AREA OF CHHATTISGARH

The feasibility of using a solar photovoltaic array to drive water-pumping units for irrigation and drinking water in remote areas, where other sources of power are not available has been demonstrated. Solar energy, being very costly at present, is to be used very judiciously. MATLAB software is employing to do the simulations and perform the techno-economic evaluation [2]. Thousands of cases have been carried out to achieve an optimal system configuration based on the lower net present cost and levelized cost of energy. In this work, a case study is done for a remote area situated at Chhattisgarh as a representative example of a remote agricultural area in India was presented here. Finally, comparative studies of photovoltaic cell system with stand-alone diesel generation system and also with grid extension were considered in this study. Also this paper presents an optimized power management scheme for solar PV power driven different HP motor pump with energy storage for rural irrigation. The integrated PV system will supply power to the required demand of the 3 HP and 5 HP AC submersible pump and excess power will charge the battery via a suitable DC-AC boost Converter [1]. During PV Power generation deficiency, the battery will be in discharging mode to supply the required power to drive the pump depending on its State of Charge (SOC) and thus smooth the transient power during that period.
