Solar photovoltaic pumping system is one of most important of renewable energy applications especially in rural areas. Besides, the control strategy for standalone solar pumping system based on induction motor and without DC/DC converter has been widely studied and discussed in the literature. This topology is of great concern due its economic issues, especially when a standard frequency converter (SFCs) with scalar control is used instead of a dedicated PV inverter. This paper proposes an external control module to generate SFCs frequency reference in order to ensure both maximum power point tracking (MPPT). We present method of modeling and control of photovoltaic pumping system based centrifugal pump controlled by new improved incremental conductance in order to optimize the price and operation of pumping system this MPPT algorithm have many advantages like can be eliminate proportional integral controller It is a low cost solution since it requires no additional power equipment. The induction motor driven pump that is powered by a solar array is controlled by the indirect field oriented control (IFOC). The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by simulations carried out under Matlab Software. The experimental results are compared with simulation results.

The solar powered water pump is very ideal equipment because solar power is more intensive when the water is more needed in summer and it is very helpful in the rural area, in which electrical power is not available. The average solar radiation power is $3.488\;kWh/(m^2{\cdot}day)$ in Korea. In this study, the experimental system of the water pump driven by the radiation energy were designed, assembled, tested and analyzed fur realizing the solar powered water pump. Energy conversion ken radiation energy to mechanical energy by using n-pentane as operating material was done and the water pumping cycles were able to be continued. The quantity of the water pumped per cycle ranged from 2 L to 10 L depending on the level of the valve open area far the vapour supply. The average quantity was about 4,366 cc. The thermal efficiency was about $0.018\%$. The pressure level of the n-pentane vapour in flash tank was about $110\~150\;kPa$ and that in the water tank was $93\~130\;kPa$. The pressure in the condenser during cycles was maintained as about 70 kPa. The condensation of the n-pentane vapour in the water tank was increased with the cycles even though the internal and external insulation were done. Air tank performance was better with increasing of the water piston displacement and the water could be pumped with the water piston displacement becoming higher than 6,500 cc.

This paper presents a fully automated stand-alone irrigation system with GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. Solar energy is utilized to power the system and it is aimed to conserve water by reducing water losses. The system is based on a DC water pump that draws energy from solar panels along with automated water flow control using a moisture sensor. It is also fitted with alert and protection system that consists of an ultrasonic sensor and GSM messages sender that transmits signals showing the levels of the water in the reservoir and the battery charge. The control system is designed to stop the water pump from pumping water either when the battery level drops to equal or less than 10% of its full charge, or when the water level becomes less than 10 cm high in the reservoir. The experimental results revealed that the system is appropriate to use in remote areas with water scarcity and away from the national grid.

본 연구는 여재를 장착한 수리동역학적 여과분리장치(HSF)와 태양전지 구동형 수중펌프를 조합한 장치의 여재 역세척 가능성에 대하여 분석하였다. 수중펌프는 12볼트 직류모터로 구동되며 태양전지와 축전지로 가동된다. 수리동력학적 분리장치와 펄라이트 여재를 충진한 카트리지에 역세척용 노즐을 장착하였다. 입자물질들은 인공입자들을 이용하여 강우유출수내 입자농도를 모의 실험하였다. 인공입자들을 물에 분산시켜 강우유출수를 재현하였는데 사용한 입자들은 이온교환수지 입자, 실리카젤 입자, 그리고 상업지역 맨홀퇴적물질 입자 등이다. HSF장치는 아크릴 수지를 이용하였는데 여과조의 직경은 250 mm이고 전체적인 높이는 800 mm로 제작하였다. 유입수 SS 농도와 입경, 다양한 수면적 변화를 변화에 대한 역세척 방법별 SS 처리효율을 산정하였다. 전체적인 수면적부하율 범위는 308~$1,250m^3/m^2/day$이다. 태양전지를 이용한 최소한의 전력으로 구동되는 펌프를 이용하여 역세척을 실시한 결과 2대의 수중 펌프를 가동하여 역세척 시 역세척하지 않은 여재와 비교하여 약 18% 처리효율 증가효과를 나타내었다. 비점오염 처리장치에 소규모 태양전지를 활용하여 여재를 역세척할 경우 처리효율을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, energy conversion from thermal energy to mechanical power by using n-pentane was tested and exergy variation, cycle number, water quantity pumped and thermal efficiency were analyzed. The energy conversion was done and the water head could be ten meters on the experimental conditions. The operating temperature range of cycle was recommended to be around the liquid-vapour saturation temperature of the working fluid on the viewpoint of the maximum work. The cycle diagram was analyzed by the exergy analysis. For the constant water head, the cycle number was decreased and the water quantity per day was increased and thermal efficiency become higher when the water quantity per cycle become increasing. For the constant pumping water quantity per cycle, cycle number and the water quantity per day was decreased and the thermal efficiency become higher because the saturation temperature become higher when the water head become higher.

태양열을 동력원으로 하여 열에너지를 동력으로 변환, 물을 양수할 목적으로 저온 상변화물질인 펜탄을 작동물질로 하는 에너지변환장치를 제작하여 실험하였다. 장치는 각부의 크기를 그 기능과 상호작용 원리에 따라 논리에 맞게 최적 설계하였다. 장치의 제작 후 실험을 통하여 그 운전 특성을 분석하여 성능향상에 필요한 자료를 획득하고자 하였다. 작동물질인 펜탄을 가열하는 탱크 내부의 온도는 사이클 경과시간에 따라 약 $40­86^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 변동하고 있었으며, 물탱크내 온도 약 $23­24^{\circ}C$, 공기탱크 내 온도 $22­23.5^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 비교적 일정하게 유지되고 있었다. 응축기내의 온도와 냉각수출구 온도는 냉각수입구 온도수준에 따라 정의 상관관계로 변하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 열 교환 능력도 냉각수 온도수준이 낮을수록 커진다는 것을 확인하였다. 물탱크 내 온도와 응축기내 온도가 상당히 차이가 나므로 물탱크와 응축기와의 연결거리를 최소화하고 연결파이프 크기를 큰 것으로 하여 내부물질이동 저항을 줄이는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 실험 중 양수량은 1.6­2.4 liter로 나타났으며, 냉각시간의 수준에 따른 물탱크내의 흡입물높이 상승은 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 응축기로부터의 냉각수 배출파이프가 연장되지 않은 경우 냉각수 유량이 5.9 liter/min 이었으나 연장파이프가 있을 때는 2.3 liter/min으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상에서 양수하는 물의 온도가 낮고 유량이 부족한 경우에는 연장파이프를 이용하는 것이 좋고, 냉각수치 양은 풍부하지만 그 온도가 낮지 않은 경우에는 연장파이프를 이용하지 않는 것이 좋다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 실험에서의 응축기내 냉각수의 최대 열교환량은 95.75 kJ/min로 나타났다. 작동물질가열탱크와 기액 분리탱크 내의 압력은 0.13­0.14 MPa.a, 물탱크와 응축기내의 압력은 약 0.11 MPa.a정도로 나타났다.

In remote islands, due to expense of existing generation systems, installation of photovoltaic cells (PVs) and wind turbines has a chance of reducing generation costs. However, in island power systems, even short-term power fluctuations change the frequency of grids because of their small inertia constant. In order to compensate power fluctuations, the authors proposed the power consumption control of pumps which send water to tanks. The power control doesn’t affect water users’ convenience as long as tanks hold water. Based on experimental characteristics of a pump system, this paper shows methods to determine reference power consumption of the system with compensation for short-term PV fluctuations while satisfying water demand. One method uses a PI controller and the other method calculates reference power consumption from water flow reference. Simulations with a PV and a pump system are carried out to find optimum parameters and to compare the methods. Results show that both PI control method and water flow calculation method are useful for satisfying the water demand constraint. The water demand constraint has a little impact to suppression of the short-term power fluctuation in this condition.

자연에너지인 태양열을 동력원으로 하여 구동되는 물펌프는 물이 많이 필요한 여름철에 과 열원인 태양에너지가 강하므로 매우 이상적인 장치라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 태양열 물펌프의 자동화운전을 실현하고자 작동물질의 압력변화를 감지하여 자동 운전되도록 하였으며, 이에 필요한 제어논리를 개발하고 회로론 구성하였다. 실험에서는 장치를 제작. 실험, 분석하였고 분석항목은 양수량과 효율, 압력, 온도를 분석하였다. 또한 자동화에 필수적인 응축기 진공을 위한 응축기의 최소 전열면적을 설계하였으며, 그 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 1. 복사에너지를 동력으로 변환하여 물을 양수할 수 있었고, 자동화 제어회로에 의해 사이클을 반복할 수 있었다. 2 양수는 60분 동안에 13사이클을 수행하였으며, 사이클 당 소요시간은 약 4.9분이었다. 총 양수량은 69,200cc, 사이클 당 평균 5,320cc를 양수하였다. 이 과정동안 장치의 열효율은 $0.030\%$로 나타났다. 3. 실험과정에서 기액 분리탱크 내의 작동물질 증기의 온도는 물탱크로 증기를 배출하기 전후에 따라 약 $41\~49^{\circ}C$ 범위에 있었으며, 상당히 균일하게 변동하고 있었다. 물탱크와 공기탱크내의 온도는 약 $30^{\circ}C$ 정도 부근에서 유지되고 있었으며, 응축기 냉각수공급온도는 실험기간 중 $10\~13^{\circ}C$ 범위를 나타내었다. 응축기 출구온도는 $14\~17^{\circ}C$ 정도로서 응축기 냉각수의 입출구 온도차는 실험초기를 제외하면 약 $4^{\circ}C$ 전후로 나타났다 4. 기액 분리탱크 내의 압력은 자동화 프로그램 된 범위인 150$\~$450hPa(gauge)를 매우 정확하게 유지하였으며, 공기탱크내의 압력은 약 1200hPa로 나타났다. 응축기내의 압력은 약 600hPa로서 진공을 잘 유지함으로서 사이클을 반복하는데 문제가 없었다. 5. 한국의 전국 하루 평균 3.488kWh/($m^2{\cdot}day$)의 태양에너지를 기준으로 장치의 열효율이 $0.1\%$를 적용하고 전 양정을 10m로 보면 태양열복사 단위면적 $m^2$ 당 약 128kg의 물을 양수할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
