Smart Technologies for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development, 2019

The use of the electrical energy increases nowadays. This energy generated by using the fossil fuel that causes the carbon content, which is responsible for the pollution and increase the global warming. So this problem can be solved by using the solar energy, which is the renewable energy source. There are two main types of photovoltaic energy system, i.e., grid-connected PV energy system and standalone PV energy system. This paper presents the stand-alone photovoltaic solar energy system. Because this can be used in remote areas, rural area, where the national grid system is not available. In solar energy system, DC–DC conversion is an important step but due to this, the system will become more complex and increase the price of the system also reduces the efficiency of the system. So here, the single stage conversion of the solar energy uses such as PV panel, Inverter, and pump. The simulation is executed in the MATLAB SIMULINK Software.

Simulation algorithm and validation of a photovoltaic water pumping system model using long-term field data

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 2010

A photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system has been modelled using TRNSYS considering a power supply, a direct current (DC)/alternating current (AC) inverter, an AC induction motor, a centrifugal pump, a well, a water storage tank, and an overflow protection device. The model emulates actual pumping head curves, uses numerical methods to determine pumpsystem working points, and includes a storage tank as a component in the system. It simulates PV-powered water pumping systems, constant voltage tracking, voltage frequency modulation, and maximum power point tracking algorithms; variable inverter frequency with variable motor efficiency, variable inverter frequency with constant motor efficiency, and constant inverter frequency with variable motor efficiency algorithms. It also has the facility to calculate the accumulated unused part of the PV energy owing to the pump reaching its maximum capacity limit. Model validation was accomplished by comparing simulated results with both the laboratory measurements and long-term field data from Jordan; good match and accuracy have been achieved.

Optimum Operation of Direct Coupled Photovoltaic-Water Pumping Systems

The use of photovoltaics as the power source for pumping water is one of the most promising areas in photovoltaic applications. Photovoltaic powered water pumping systems require only that there be enough sunshine and a source of water which is adequate for many developing countries. Solar direct pumping systems are simple and less complex than battery systems. This paper presents a new design and simulation of a simple but efficient photovoltaic water pumping system using Matlab program. The maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is designed and simulated using actual irradiance data. The DC pump motor is modeled using Simulink and the model is then transferred into Matlab, so that the whole system is simulated in Matlab environment. The algorithms are tested with actual irradiance data in Kuwait. The simulations verify the system and functionality of MPPT. Simulations also make comparisons for the system without MPPT in terms of total energy produced and total volume of water pumped per day. The results validate that MPPT can significantly increase the efficiency and the performance of PV water pumping system compared to the system without MPPT.
