Solar Water Pumps
This document evaluates solar water pumps through technical, systems, and business model approaches, providing insights into their implementation and effectiveness.
Solar water pumping provides a welcome alternative to fuel-burning generators for pumping water. Advantages of PV pumping systems include low operating cost, unattended operation, low maintenance, easy installation, and long life . Solar pumping systems require no fuel.
AA solar water pumping system is designed with solar photovoltaic panels and locally available electric pumps. All components in the system design have been procured locally except solar panels. A DC-DC Buck converter is used to integrate with the solar water pumping system to operate it efficiently.
Simulation results of SPVWPS. Based on the simulation results shown in Table 11, the designed solar photovoltaic water pumping system can meet 92.93% of the irrigation water demand of the selected site. This system efficiency is better than that in the study (81.6%) conducted by Mishra et al. .
In particular, the study focused on photovoltaic water pumping systems that replace the energy used by diesel engines with solar energy for pumping operations. To evaluate system performance, the researchers employed MATLAB to simulate real sun irradiation, and the suggested model was run for 72 hours.
