“…First, the pipe network and the irrigation scheduling are fully preserved. Consequently, and according to The water inlet to the pumps is made up of a 300 m 3 regulation tank (about one and a half hours of consumption) which, in turn, receives water from an external dam. In years with severe droughts, water is often restricted.…”

The current state of the art of photovoltaic (PV) irrigation systems is limited to PV peak powers below 40 kWp, which does not cover the irrigation needs of farmers, co-operatives, irrigator communities, and agro-industries. This limitation of power is due to two main technical barriers: The quick intermittence of PV power due to the passing of clouds, and the maladjustment between PV production and water needs. This paper presents new solutions that have been developed to overcome these barriers and their application to the design and performance of a 140 kWp hybrid PV-diesel system for the drip irrigation of 195 ha of olive trees in Alter do Chão, Portugal. The performance of the solutions was analysed during two years of real operation. As the performance of the PV system is not only affected by intrinsic-to-design characteristics, but also by circumstances external to the system, new performance indices were developed. As an example, the percentage of use of PV electricity, PVSH, was 78% and 82% in 2017 and 2018, respectively, and the performance ratio of the PV part, PRPV, was 0.79 and 0.80. The economic feasibility was also analysed based on experimental data, resulting in savings in the levelized cost of electricity of 61%.

“…HOMER (hybrid optimization model for electric renewable) is one of the global standard software in conception and deploying of micro-grids and distributed power systems that can include a combination of renewable energy multi sources, storage, and fossil-based energy (either through a local generator or through a power grid) developed by NREL (National renewable energy laboratory) in the US [15][16][17][18]. It can be useful in the evaluation of design options for off-grid and grid-connected power systems for remote, stand-alone generation applications [15][16][17][18].…”

in this article, we present the study and results for the installation of a mini-photovoltaic power plant of 2 kW installed in the desert region (Applied Research in Renewable Energy (URAER), Ghardaia in southern Algeria during 15 days (14-31 January 2016). The objective is to compare Homer software simulation and experimental recorded data, to characterize and to evaluate the dynamic performance and energy balance of a photovoltaic plant composed of a PV generator, a battery storage and regulator which has the role of protecting the battery and management system operation face the climatic variations in desert region.

systems, to attend international meetings, to have contact with companies, to present our work worldwide and to grow, both professionally and personally. To summarize, I really want to thank you for your guidance and support. You were always there and I really appreciate that. I also want to thank Eduardo for his useful advices, his great wisdom, his enlightens and his useful help in what concerns the science of writing. I would also like to express my gratitude to Pepe because he shared with me all his knowledge about frequency converters and electronics in general and he taught me the importance of clearly think before starting to do something.
