Computer Controlled Single Water Pumping Application (SWPC)
PL-167815
The "SWPC" Computer Controlled Single Water Pumping Application, developed by EDIBON, is designed to demonstrate the fundamental operation principles of pumping units within isolated networks. This unit includes two water tanks placed at different heights, connected by a pump and PVC piping to replicate a real-world pumping system. A unique feature of the application is its proportional valve, which allows users to adjust the valve's opening level to create varied manometric pressures at the pump outlet, effectively controlling the pumping height of the system. With this setup, water can be pumped from the lower tank (ground water) to the upper tank (storage tank) after the desired pressure is configured.
The application incorporates an industrial pump regulator, engineered specifically to maximize available energy for pumping. When solar radiation is minimal, the regulator optimizes the current-voltage (I-V) curve to extend pumping hours, allowing students to analyze these device operations and their value in systems that regulate voltage for optimal pump operation.
A range of sensors, actuators, and indicators facilitates complete monitoring, supervision, and control. These include a tank level sensor, flow and pressure sensors, a maximum level stop in the upper tank to prevent overflow, a minimum level stop in the lower tank to avoid pump damage, along with various pump operation indicators and control switches. The SCADA software’s data acquisition system and internal meters display real-time sensor data and actuator status, including the regulator's input and output voltage and current. Furthermore, users can analyze the system’s energy flows, assessing the potential energy of the pumped water and the electricity required to transfer this energy to the storage tank.
For a more comprehensive learning experience, a photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, batteries, and respective regulators are recommended as supplementary components to showcase how an isolated network pumping system operates. The SWPC application also includes a detailed manual, which covers the theoretical and practical aspects of photovoltaic and wind-powered water pumping systems, the architecture of pumping and irrigation setups, energy flow analyses, and the dimensioning of solar pumping installations.
