In this study, the optimal conditions for renewable sources, Solar and Wind generators, have been determined for irrigation system in Sandwip, St. Martin and Kutubdia of Bangladesh by conducting a linear programming graphical analysis tool. For all of these three regions mentioned above, the optimum system is found to be solar-only system for irrigation based on the load conditions and meteorological data. Finally, the study shows the amount of energy the optimum PV generator has produced in a year with the surplus energy after satisfying the load demand.

This investigation focused on the research undertaken on solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technologies for pumping water generally for irrigation of remote rural farms specifically considering the Sub-Saharan African region. Solar PV systems have been researched extensively for irrigation purposes due to the rise in Oil prices and the upscaling in commercialisation of PV technology. Based on the literature the most effective PV system is presented for the irrigation of a small scare remote rural farm with respect to the cost, pumping capacity and system efficiency. Similarly, solar thermal systems are reviewed and the most effective system described. Unlike PV technology, solar thermal technology for water pumping is lacking especially in small scale operations. However, with the possibility of local production, low investment cost, easy maintenance and lower carbon footprint, solar thermal water pumping technologies may be able to overcome the shortcomings of the PV technology that has stopped widespread use of the technology for irrigation applications. Taking into consideration recent developments in concentrated solar technologies using the Stirling engine, novel solar thermal water pumping systems may be developed. This review also highlighted the different methodologies such as modelling, used to investigate and optimise the performance of solar powered systems.

Burning fossil fuel like coal, diesel, and so on, for electricity generation is environmentally hazardous and cause increased CO 2 emissions worldwide. To meet the ever-growing energy demand, solar energy remains top and considered to be most promising one that grabbed global attention recently, especially, in the areas of rural electrification and water pumping. Moreover, the solar photovoltaic (PV) system is advantageous and highly preferred. Thus, this paper attempts to review various components of solar-powered water-pumping systems, its configuration, characteristics, and performance. Also, comparison of water-pumping system with and without maximum power point tracking (MPPT), motor and pumps selection based on water flow rate, optimal converter selection, and effective controller performance is studied. Furthermore, PV pumps behavioral study at various geographical locations is also made. Critical analysis on PV water pumping with limitation and suggestions is also highlighted. Hence, it is envisaged that the data presented in this review paper will be useful to the researchers in the selection of suitable PV techniques, pumps, motors, MPPT, and controllers for the effective design, control, and better performance of solar water-pumping system.
