The aim of this study is to analyse the operation of a wind-electric pumping system (WEPS) as an alternative to conventional mechanical wind pumps for application in stand-alone water-pumping schemes. The steady-state as well as the dynamic operation of such a system is analysed. Through these analyses, practical guidelines are given in the design and sizing of the different system components to ensure efficient and reliable operation. Theoretical analyses are supported by measured results conducted on a small scale wind-electric pump system. The limitations involved in the design and implementation of a large scale wind-electric pump system are presented through a case study. It is firstly concluded that small-scale wind-electric pump systems have the potential of offering superior performance and flexibility to conventional mechanical wind pumps. It is secondly concluded that large-scale wind-electric pump systems are best suited, in terms of economic and practical feasibility, to pumping applications with low pressures and medium to high wind regimes at the turbine installation site. 2009-03-03T11:25:32Z 2010-06-01T08:51:19Z 2009-03-03T11:25:32Z 2010-06-01T08:51:19Z 2009-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2527 en University of Stellenbosch application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
