“…It does not require fuels to operate and it has potential to change the lifestyle of people living under the shade of water crisis for ages. As per the "Global Water Supply and Sanitation Assessment Report" of WHO there are 1.1 billion people around the globe who have not access to pure drinking water and this data was estimated to become 3 billion by 2025 [3] . Thus to control the upcoming water crisis around the globe it is necessary to take action and solve this problem using solar powered water pumps.…”

This paper focuses on the application of solar energy along with microcontrollers to design and run a motor to pump water from various sources. The solar water pump is one of the applications or appliance that perform task with the use of solar radiation. The solar water pump consists of solar PV array, solar pump, inverter, AC water pumping device etc. Solar energy radiation is converted in electrical current or power source which is then used to run a pump and draw water directly from ground, wells, rivers, lakes etc. In this paper, the relationship between flow rate of the water and luminous intensity of the solar irradiance is studied and the data are linearly fitted to find out the correlation between these parameters. Also the study about efficiency of the solar powered water pump shows that the operation of this type of pumping system is quite efficient than other types of fossil fuel engines like diesel, petrol, kerosene etc. in long run. The use of Arduino Uno, flow sensor, LDR sensors in the solar powered water pump helps to analyze the relation between these parameters and know the conditions favorable for excess supply of water in short time efficiently. These solar powered devices are the future of clean and green future of this world. Thus it is not only necessary but also compulsory to enhance the usage of solar energy throughout the globe.

“…Many renewable energy sources can be used for water pumping. However, the fact that solar energy is available in most places and is unlimited makes it more popular (Verma et al 2020). Therefore, among the renewable energy sources, solar energy is the most widely used source in water pumping systems (Alshamani & Iqbal 2017).…”

Submersible pumps, widely used in deep wells drilled to meet the water needs of users in urban areas, add an additional load to the conventional electricity grid infrastructure and are responsible for increasing the concentration of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. The main objective of this study is to investigate the technical and economic feasibility of using solar photovoltaic (PV) energy to reduce the net power drawn from the grid by submersible pumps in urban water supply systems. The Germiraltı catchment area (Kayseri, Turkey), which provides all of its energy needs from the city electricity grid, was chosen as the research area. Two different scenarios, ‘hybrid-powered water pumping system’ and ‘grid-connected PV system’, were analyzed and evaluated. A 1,620 kWp grid-connected PV system can inject 2,787.8 MWh/year of energy into the grid, which is more than the total annual energy need of the submersible pumps. The system operates with 85.7% performance ratio (PR), 19.6% capacity factor (CF) and 4.71 (h/d) final yield. The payback period of the system is calculated as 4.1 years. The results show that it is economically competitive to meet the energy needs of submersible pumps in urban water supply systems with solar PV energy.

“…Indeed energy-water systems must be analysed and optimized together [5] try to reach an integral solution to provide the adequate services. Solar pumping systems can plan a central role on it [6], [7]. Incorporation of solar distributed systems to obtain well water, could apport new technical solutions to adequate and stabilize the electrical grid [8]- [10] by means of the reactive power available at the low-voltage grid level [11].…”

In this work, a new analysis of the solar pumping as a source to provide secondary regulation and local reactive management strategies into low-voltage grid, is addressed. Based on real generation data and the capabilities of a commercial solar inverter, the control and management of the different work modes of the power electronics is proposed to analyse the viability of the use of solar pumping systems to be active agents in the flexibility market. Finally, some regulatory issues are presented to evaluate the feasibility of this proposal.
