Abstract :
A new design of an efficient batteryless pumping system powered from photovoltaic panels, comprising a push-pull converter and an induction motor, is presented. Detailed evaluation of the energy processing cycle has allowed the formulation of a set of design principles and the optimization of a sensorless induction motor drive system. The resulting performance enhancement is demonstrated experimentally.
