ABSTRACT:

Objective- To design a simple cost effective and efficient method for a water supply system employing a brushless DC motor, fed with renewable source of energy(solar energy) from solar photovoltaic array and to obtain maximum power output from SPV array using maximum power point tracking(MPPT),employing zeta converter.

Design / Methodology/ Approach-   Performance evaluation of proposed SPV array-fed BLDC

motor-driven water pump employing a zeta converter is carried out using simulated results. The proposed system is designed, modeled, and simulated considering the random and instant variations in solar irradiance level and its suitability is demonstrated by testing the starting, steady state, and dynamic behaviour.

Findings- The SPV array-zeta converter-fed VSI–BLDC motor-pump has been proposed and its suitability has been demonstrated through simulated results and experimental validation.

Practical implications-We can implement this system in Rural area irrigation & fresh water pumping, Mini pump applications, BLDC application in robotics, Energy efficient mechanical machine operation.

Key words: zeta converter, VSI–BLDC, MPPT, SPV
