Design and optimization of an autonomous solar water pumping system with battery bank storage system

It is aimed to design and optimize a system which uses solar energy for electrification as well as providing the required electricity for pumping water. A Photovoltaic-battery autonomous standalone system will be considered. Furthermore, in some areas the radiation is lessened due to bad weather conditions. Therefore, it is common to use batteries to provide energy when the system has no solar energy, or the solar radiation is not sufficient. Sizing of the system should be selected while considering loss of power in different periods of time. The change in load of the system should be investigated to predict the probable change of consumption patterns. Finally, environmental-economic investigation should be evaluated.
Expected benefits:
• Scientific: To deepen the knowledge of solar water pumping
• Technological: To improve the performance of the available water pumping systems
• Financial: To lower levelized cost of electricity by using renewable sources
• Environmental: To reduce emissions and carbon footprint
