A proposal for energy management in an off-grid photovoltaic pumping and irrigation system is presented and evaluated for a specific case study. The system is assumed to be based on off-the-shelf components (photovoltaic panels, battery banks, DC/AC converters, relays, submergible pumps, etc.), with a microcontroller-based energy management system, deciding when to disconnect the load from the ...

A pumping system powered from Photovoltaic array is modeled and simulated using Matlab Simulink. Detailed evaluation of energy processing in Photovoltaic pumping system is presented. A low voltage DC is stepped by using DC to DC Push -Pull converter. DC output from the PV Cell is converted into high frequency AC using a Push Pull Inverter. This is stepped up to 200v using a high frequency steps...

This paper presents the optimal operation of a photovoltaic pumping system. The operation of a permanent magnet brushless DC motor driving a centrifugal pump is investigated. The motor is controlled through a hysteresis current loop and an outer speed loop with a PI type controller. The proportional and integral gains are set to their optimal values. In order to optimise the overall system effi...

The photovoltaic powered water pumping system investigated in this paper consists mainly of a photovoltaic generator, a boost converter, a three phase inverter, and an induction motor-pump. Then, we present a method which resolved directly on the bond graph the problem of input/output linearization of the nonlinear system while basing itself on input/output causal inversion of its BG model. Ana...
