THREE PHASE SOLAR PUMP CONTROLLER WITH
MPPT AND VFD
INTRODUCTION

This system runs all days from morning to evening and delivers constant
output through out the day. It is operated with MPPT, VFD and IGBT, reduces
starting current requirement and also delivers constant pure sine wave 3 phase
output, It can run the motor or pump set stable even on cloudy and rainy days.
This is the only system that runs any kind of new and old pump set so that no need
to change existing water pumps. It can also be used for split load operations,
domestic, commercial, industrial, agriculture and community water supplies.

“No maintenance for many years”

 SOYO’s 3 phase solar pump control is an electronic device which is a
combination of inverter, MPPT and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) targeted
mainly for solar pumping systems for irrigation. The scarcity and poor quality of
electricity supply in rural India leads to use of alternate energy for water pumping
systems in Indian agriculture. Solar energy which is abundant in Indian states can
be harnessed for this purpose. Keeping this in mind, SOYO has launched this 3-
phase solar pump control systems which uses solar energy, does not require
batteries and pumps water from early mornings till late evenings, even under
cloudy conditions.

MPPT Action - Maximum Power Point Tracking :

If a DC motor is used along with the pump there is no MPPT action. If

the motor is designed to work at maximum power point during peak
sunlight (noon) then at less intensity sunlight (mornings and evenings)
the motor will not be at its maximum power point so the full energy is
wasted. On the other hand if the motor is designed for maximum power
point during less intensity sunlight, it will not be at its maximum power
point during noon which again leads to waste of energy. Even though
this method is used in many places it is in-efficient.

This system works at its best during any time of the day at any kind of
sunlight so effectively we will get 35% extra energy which is being
wasted at present using other inefficient methods.

Variable frequency drive eliminates the high starting current of the
induction motor :

The induction motor has very high starting current which is around
eight times of the running current of the motor. If the motor is started
with load, the starting current is much higher than this. Without
smooth start high wattage panels are required for starting the motors.
Because of the smooth start using variable frequency, the motor will
start as early as even 6am without taking any starting current. It is
practically observed that the starting current will be lesser than the
running current from the panel.

Page 11
Maintaining maximum efficiency of the induction motor by varying VF
ratio :

The induction motor has maximum efficiency at certain VF ratio. By

simply increasing the voltage or the frequency we are reducing the
efficiency. If we increase the voltage the slip will reduce so the efficiency
and torque will reduce. If we increase the frequency the slip will
increase so the efficiency and torque will again reduce. The induction
motor has maximum efficiency at a certain slip.

The graph below explains –

The system runs at maximum efficiency at all the time by constantly

maintaining the motor in the right slip which leads to this maximum
efficiency.

 TERMINATIONS :

Input Terminal : Solar PV input supply is given to the Solar Pump

Controller system from this terminal strip it has + ve & - ve terminals.

Output Terminal : When Solar Pump Controller is ON 220 VAC-3 Phase

(For 1 & 2 HP) 380 VAC-3 Phase (For 3 & 7.5 HP) voltage is given to motor

from RYB terminal.

 INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE

Visual Inspection :

Before commissioning system should be visually inspected for physical

damages and proper connections.

Commisioning :

1) Connect the PV input “+VE & –VE” to the Solar pump controller
terminal marked “PV –VE” & “PV +VE ” respectively.

RYB PV -VE EARTH PV +VE

2) Connect the output to motor terminal marked output “RYB” terminals

respectively.

3) Appropriate chemical earthing shall be done for Solar Panels and

Controller.

 FEATURES :

 This solar inverter with MPPT VF drive will give maximum torque even at
minimum sunlight

 There is no need of any battery, directly connect the panel to the inverter and
the output of the inverter can be connected to a three phase motor

 The DSP will track at which point the maximum power can be extracted from
the panel by varying the PWM and modulation frequency so the motor will
run always extracting the maximum power from the panel and at a constant
torque for the wide range of intensity of sunlight - morning till evening.

 This will give 35% extra energy which results in pumping 35% more water
compared with the conventional three phase inverter + three phase pump or
DC motor based pump.

ADVANTAGES :

 Higher efficiency

 Higher life cycle

 Dry running protection

 Reverse polarity protection

 Open circuit and short circuit protection

 Higher temperature protection

 Over voltage and under voltage protection

 Overload protection
