Abstract :
We expose the results of the INCA (innovacion en control y adaptacion) equipment, a craft European community project: investment, design and manufacturing of an industrial modular equipment for dual purpose: Photovoltaic (PV) pumping and solar home covering the 1 kW to 10 kW range. We expose the new real-sensorless control for AC drives in those applications where the speed measurement is not possible, like PV pumping. The equipment has been tested under real conditions and compared versus another industrial equipments obtaining exceptional results in efficiency, robustness and easy manufacturing and maintenance.
