“…Solar powered water pumping has the potential to bring sustainable supplies of potable water to millions of people in developing countries [3]. Performances of a photovoltaic pumping system based on an induction motor are degraded once insolation varies far from the value called nominal, where the system was sized [4]. Solar PV can provide cost effectively at least some proportion of energy needs.…”

Photovoltaic now used in new irrigation system as a source of renewable energy to run the pumps. It's can be used in remote areas, which it's very difficult and more expensive to establish power stations or to install transmission lines to connect these areas with the electrical grid. Surface pump can be used in modern irrigations systems and connected to PV power supply to save energy and water. In this paper a system contains 10 hp surface pump and 15 kW PV system uses to drive the pump unit are studied. The paper investigates mathematical models for surface PV pumping system component. The performance of this system is studied by using this mathematical model during a long time, and the effect of solar radiations values on the system performance is estimated. The paper introduced a simulations and experimental results of the PV pumping in daily hourly average during one year. A good agreement between the simulations results and experimental results are found. The paper investigates the overall performance foxing on the water flow rate values obtained from the unit during one year. Also the electrical power quality analysis of the AC voltage feeds for the pump unit are measured and calculated. Due to solar radiations variation during day hours, and during different months the electrical performance such as; voltage current, power and also harmonic contents is changed depends on the values of solar radiations. The electrical signals and power quality are measured on the field by using power quality devices in different days and statues of operations. The results showed that; during low radiations periods the voltage and frequency are varied in a constant relation to reduce the pump speed and hence reduce the water flow rate to be proportional to input energy come from the PV panels. In case of high solar radiations the inverter runs the pump at constant frequency values depend on pump specifications. And during clouds occurred the system is stopped.

Photovoltaic (PV)-powered centrifugal water pumping systems have been modelled based on field experience and analysis of long-term measured performance of several installed PV-powered water pumping systems. This paper presents detailed modelling of a PV array, an inverter, a three-phase induction motor, a centrifugal pump, a well, a storage tank, an overflow controller, and an integrated reverse osmosis desalination unit. The component models were validated using both laboratory measurements and long-term monitored data. All system components have been modelled separately, and the system was modelled in TRNSYS. The models are capable of simulating grid-connected, diesel-powered, and PV-powered water pumping systems, and can consider the following design and operational variables: 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; and variation in PV temperature.

Due to the continuous decrease of the solar cells cost, photovoltaic energy is used in diverse applications. The most important one is the batteries-coupled water pumping system powered by photovoltaic generators. The use of batteries allows the system to deliver a constant water flow during the low light periods and night. With the increased use of this application, more attention has been paid to their optimum utilization. Fuzzy logic controllers provide attractive features such as fast response, accuracy and good performance compared to the classical controllers. Next, a vector control of induction motor fed by a photovoltaic system is studied to improve its dynamic performance. The photovoltaic pumping system is composed of a PV generator, DC-DC converter, batteries, DC-AC converter, a vector controlled induction motor and centrifugal pump. The surplus energy produced by PV panels during light hours charges the batteries and the batteries in turn supply power to the pump during backup energy. A simulation study is presented under variable weather conditions and the results show the effectiveness of the studied method.
