Single Phase Induction Motor for Closed Loop Agricultural Energy Harvesting

ABSTRACT
This paper presents a microcontroller based PWM controlled single phase induction Motor drive for Energy based Harvesting. The advantage of this project is closed loop monitoring and control of Induction motor for energy based Agricultural Harvesting. This system involves less complexity of control algorithms and reduced interface circuits. The Proposed method is suitable for Energy Harvesting Purposes with Variable Speed for Irrigation Pumping, Embedded controller based Monitoring system, Timer Based ON/OFF control, Soil Moisture Based ON/OFF control, Detection on Emptiness of Water in Sump. All the above Listed Features are made in experimental work are carried out and results presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. This is a useful approach to save waste run of motor and save water from excess flowing.

Existing System The Present system is Motor Starter Controlled Induction motor system for Agriculture and Irrigation purposes. This system provided ON/OFF control of Motor fully manual system and no closed loop monitoring is provided. Only Motor fault safety is installed and automatic monitoring is not available.

Disadvantages Open loop control Wastage of power and water

Emptiness of well is not monitored Soil Water moisture is not monitored Automatic ON timer is not available

Proposed System
