Electrical behaviour of the pump working as turbine in off grid operation
1) To study the operation Pump-as-Turbine system in rural areas;
2) To analyze the required capacitance for the self-excited induction generator;
2) To study the machine behavior under variable speed and load;
3) To conclude about the electrical, hydraulic and overall system efficiencies.
