The utilisation of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy to power water pumps is today an emerging technology, characterised by gradually declining costs and increasing acquitance with the technology. Since the first installations in the end of the seventies, solar water pumping systems for providing domestic, livestock and irrigation water supplies in remote areas have gained enormously in a...

In this study, thermodynamic and economic analysis of a photovoltaic electricity generation system (PVEGS) with and without self-cleaning panels is reported. In the first part, thermodynamic analyses are used to characterize the performance of the system. In the second part, the economic comparison of photovoltaic electricity generation with and without self-cleaning panels is carried out for a...

This study presents a fuzzy logic direct torque control for induction motor to be used in photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system. The system is intended less expensive and simple while maximizing PV array power utilization. For this purpose, smart technology based on controller (FLC) has been implemented track the maximum which successfully solar systems under different irradiance levels. Next,...

Solar energy is abundantly available on the earth and can be utilized in various applications by converting it a suitable form. Water supply remote places rural areas still critical due to unavailability of grid power. In developing country like India, construction cost 6670 $/km because which some are waiting for electricity. There large scope meet this need with help standalone solar water pu...

the increase of cell temperature with increased irradiance is probably the mostsignificant disadvantage of using photovoltaic modules equipped with booster reflectors. the aimof this study is to investigate the possibility of improving the performance of a photovoltaic waterpumping system by using a booster reflector and to keep the temperature of pv panels at a lowlevel by cooling pv panels wi...
