The grail of this paper is to investigate the performance of various DC-DC converters for solar based water pump system incorporating switched reluctance motor drive. The Converters used are CUK converter, Buck-Boost converter and Boost converter respectively. The speed of the switched reluctance motor is regulated by the mid-point converter along with the various DC-DC converters. The Switched reluctance motor is adopted over other motors because of its low inertia, ease of control, speed range is wide, less losses as there is no windings nor permanent magnets Present on the rotor. In order to operate the solar PV array at its optimum level we employ maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and specifically Perturb and Observe control method is employed in this project. The proposed system deals with the design, modeling and simulation of three different types of converters using MATLAB/Simulink environment. The applicability of this system can be analyzed by the simulated results.

This study proposes a novel, axial-flux, single-phase switched reluctance motor for micro machines with wireless-driven capability. The rotor and stator each have two poles, and the stator utilizes two permanent magnets to provide the required parking position and rotational torque. By reducing the number of magnetic poles and coils in the stator, and by utilizing a cylindrical design for its stator components, the micro motor is able to be easily manufactured and assembled. Safety and convenience are also achieved through the use of a wireless drive, which negates the need for power connections or batteries. This study utilizes the topology method in rotor design to reduce excessive torque ripple. For this study, an actual micro, axial-flux, single-phase switched reluctance motor with a diameter of 5.5 mm and length of 4.4 mm was built in combination with a wireless charging module and motor circuitry found on the market. With an induced current of 0.7 A, the motor achieved a maximum of 900 rpm, indicating possible applications with respect to toys, micro-pumps, dosing pumps, and vessels for gases, liquids, or vacuum that do not require feedthrough.
