ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this paper is to design and
model a water-pumping system using a
submersible multi-stage centrifugal pump driven by a three-phase induction
motor. The system is intended for pumping water to the surface from a deep well
using three power supply systems: a general network, a photo-voltaic (PV)
system, and a PV system with a battery bank. These systems are used to compare
two three-phase induction motors—namely, a
motor with a drive and another one without a drive. The systems dynamic models
are simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and the results compared with the
manufacturer’s data for validation purposes. The simulation results generally
show system dynamics and expected performance over a range of operation.
