The PV panels are connected to a motor (DC or AC) which converts electrical energy supplied by the PV panel into mechanical energy which is converted to hydraulic energy by the pump. The capacity of a solar pumping system to pump water is a function of three main variables: pressure, flow, and power to the pump.
Furthermore, the use of solar photovoltaic power to operate the water pumping system is the most appropriate choice because there is a natural relationship between requirement of water and the availability of solar power . SPVWPS comprises of different components, which can be grouped as mechanical, electrical and electronic components.
Thus, the solar energy is finally converted into the hydraulic energy of the pumped liquid for agricultural or industrial needs. The PV array, power converter unit, battery storage, and motor-pump set are the main components that are included in a photovoltaic pumping system.
It is crucial to improve the solar photovoltaic pumping system’s performance and reduce losses in order to identify the system’s ideal characteristics. To optimize a system, one should design and manufacture it to be as productive as possible. Below, some optimization strategies are presented by several researchers.
Ziyad and Dagher presented a technique to improve the performance of a photovoltaic water pumping system by coupling a PV powered permanent magnet DC motor between PV array and screw-type volumetric water pump.
Solar photovoltaic water pumping system (SPVWPS) has been a promising area of research for more than 50 years. In the early 70s, efforts and studies were undertaken to explore the possibility of SPVWPS as feasible, viable and economical mean of water pumping.
