The realization of speed controlled induction motor drive system fed by photovoltaics and implementation for irrigation systems

Global climate change, exhaustion and environmental impact threats of fossil fuels necessitate the use of renewable energy resources. Use of renewable energy resources in appropriate implementations is quite important in this respect. In this study, a sample implementation of using solar energy which is a very important renewable resource for Turkey and Southern Eastern Region has been carried out.In the study, the electrical energy which is required for agricultural irrigation system is obtained from photovoltaic. The energy obtained had been converted to AA and then used in an induction motor. Induction motor had also been controlled by a speed control driver. Via the storage system made up of batteries, irrigation had been utilized at even sunless hours. As the irrigation system, drip irrigation system is projected. In this way, efficient use of water and energy had been provided.In the thesis, details about the proposed implementation system had been explained. Data about the constructed system and asynchronous motor used in irrigation had been represented. It is seen that the proposed system is feasible especially in places distant from the network in terms of costs. In this way, an implementation in agricultural irrigation has been realized through an effective use of solar energy among renewable energy resources.
