Energy Efficiency

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.
