Optimum Design and Evaluation of Solar Water Pumping System for Rural Areas
International Journal of Renewable Energy Research, 2017
Sultanate of Oman like the rest of GCC countries is a fossil-fuel-rich country that highly depends on the production of natural gas which exists in massive amounts of its land, which makes electricity generation through natural gas a cheap solution. However, power transmission to rural areas costs the government massive amounts of money. The need of electricity for rural areas, especially for water pumping systems, is crucial to farmers. One solution is to use diesel generators for water pumping; however this solution is costly over the long run and not environmentally friendly. This paper studies the use of PV-powered water pumping system instead and shows techno-economic and environmental studies comparing both PV and Diesel pumping solutions. The PVWPS showed to be more cost-effective for Oman than the diesel generator over the lifetime of the system and having 0 carbon emissions, making it the obvious choice for such issue. The optimum COE found for the PV-powered pumping system...
Techno-economical study of solar water pumping system: optimum design, evaluation, and comparison
Solar water pumping systems are fundamental entities for water transmission and storage purposes whether it is has been used in irrigation or residential applications. The use of photovoltaic (PV) panels to support the electrical requirements of these pumping systems has been executed globally for a long time. However, introducing optimization sizing techniques to such systems can benefit the end-user by saving money, energy, and time. This paper proposed solar water pumping systems optimum design for Oman. The design, and evaluation have been carried out through intuitive, and numerical methods. Based on hourly meteorological data, the simulation used both HOMER software and numerical method using MATLAB code to find the optimum design. The selected location ambient temperature variance from 12.8°C to 44.5°C over the year and maximum insolation is 7.45 kWh/m 2 /day, respectively. The simulation results found the average energy generated, annual yield factor, and a capacity factor of the proposed system is 2.9 kWh, 2016.66 kWh/kWp, and 22.97%, respectively, for a 0.81 kW water pump, which is encouraging compared with similar studied systems. The capital cost of the system is worth it, and the cost of energy has compared with other systems in the literature. The comparison shows the cost of energy to be in favor of the MATLAB simulation results with around 0.24 USD/kWh. The results show successful operation and performance parameters, along with cost evaluation, which proves that PV water pumping systems are promising in Oman.

Optimised Design and Analysis of Solar Water Pumping Systems for Pakistani Conditions
Energy and Power Engineering, 2020
This paper is about the optimized design and analysis of two solar water pumping systems in which one of the systems is designed with a battery bank and other with a cylindrical water tank for a selected site in Pakistan. The design, sizing, cost analysis and steady state analysis of the proposed systems were done in HOMER and dynamic analysis of the designed system with battery bank was performed in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulations performed in HOMER involved proper mapping of the loads which helped to evaluate the PV panel requirement, inverter rating, batteries (in case of battery based solution), modeling of water tank as a deferrable load (in case of solution based of water tank) and detailed cost analysis for a life time of 25 years. To verify the design of the solar water pumping system with battery bank, a simulation in MATLAB/Simulink for study of dynamic behavior of the overall system was performed which involved mathematical modeling of a PV panel, buck-boost converter, inverter, battery bank and motor/pump, a perturb and observe maximum power point tracking algorithm based control system. Analysis was conducted based on the economic results that indicate designed solar water pumping system with water tank would be a cheaper solution as compared to solar water pumping system with a battery bank. This work can be taken as a case study for the understanding and optimized designs of solar water pumping system with battery bank and with cylindrical tank in Pakistani conditions.
Development of Solar Powered Water Pumping System
Providing clean, environmentally safe water for livestock in sufficient quantities continues to be a major concern for farmers and ranchers. Abundant water in remote locations in needed to insure that grasslands are grazed evenly. A solar powered water pumping system designed for remote locations was operated to determine the performance and reliability of the system and components. The system began pumping water when the solar radiation intensity exceeded. Flow increased linearly with radiation intensity and reached a maximum flow of intensity. Maximum flow was dependent on using the correct controller adjustment as well as the radiation intensity. Solar water pumping system operates on direct current. The output of solar power system varies throughout the day and with changes in weather conditions. Photovoltaic module, the power source for solar pumping, have no moving parts, requires no maintenance and last for decades. A properly designed solar pumping system will be efficient, simple and reliable. Solar powered pumping systems are used principally for three applications town and city water supply, livestock watering and irrigation.

Design and performance analysis of water pumping using solar PV
2012
Bangladesh is a country where energy crisis seems to be the major problem in spite of being blessed with rich solar irradiation (~4.5KWh/m2-day). The country achieved limited success to harness solar energy to provide electricity for remote people in rural areas. Solar photovoltaic pumping is another means to mitigate energy crisis for irrigation in Bangladesh. This paper deals with the design and performance analysis of a DC photovoltaic water pumping system. A DC solar water pump is built and experimented to observe the results with a direct connection from solar array. Various methodologies to increase the efficiency of the system have been discussed to implement in the system. Finally DC-DC buck converter is designed and constructed to provide current boosting to the DC pump for having a better performance from the system. Battery and inverter is avoided in the projected system which allows a lower cost and zero maintenance. All components in the system are procured from locally available markets from Bangladesh which eventually decreases the overall cost. The designed DC water pumping system has a great prospect to solve out the energy crisis in the irrigation season as well as it can be used to cultivate lands throughout the year.
