A Comparative Study of Photovoltaic Water Pumping System-Driving Conventional AC Single-phase and Three-phase Motor Submersible Pumps

System performance analysis and comparison are necessities for ensuring the optimal operation of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant system. The primary metric that affects the PV system's productivity, dependability, profitability, ecological footprint, and grid compatibility are called Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This study analyzes the KPIs of a 93.6 kW grid-connected rooftop PV system in South Tangerang and then compares them with the previous studies. Solar irradiation and output power data are collected. Then a modified extrapolation approach is used to fill in data gaps before proceeding with the performance parameter calculation. The performance indicator analysis refers to the IEC 61724-1 standard, including performance ratio (PR), final energy yield, system efficiency, system losses, and capacity factor. The results indicate that the PR, final energy yield, system efficiency, losses ratio, and average daily capacity factor varied from 82.0% to 91.6%, 2.94 to 3.70, 13.7% to 15.7%, 8.4% to 18.0%, and 12.12% to 15.67%, respectively. Compared to other studies, the PR values are much higher than expected. All of the other parameters, however, are normal. As a result, it shows that the PV system is working correctly.

In this paper, a 335 W solar panel with a centrifugal pump combined system was simulated in MATLAB Simulink 2018 with fuzzy logic-based MPPT, and the voltage, current, power, and discharge four output responses were determined at different values of solar flux, module temperature, and atmospheric temperature. Further, the output responses voltage, current, power output, and discharge data have been optimized in Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The output data of RSM and MATLAB Simulink is used to determine the solar pump's theoretical performance and overall efficiency. Finally, the RSM-optimized results of solar pumps are validated with the experimental results of the solar pump. The experimental setup consists of 15 panels of 335 W power and a 5 hp submersible pump operated by an AC motor. The experimental data were collected from 15/01/2020 to 15/12/2020. The optimization of the solar pump by the three most important variables solar flux, module temperature, and the atmosphere temperature is very new and unique since the selected input variables maximize the overall performance of the solar pump.

“…Another active cooling technique is water spray cooling on the PV panel. It reduced their temperature, increase the power generation, and enhance the system efficiency by approximately 12.5% 11) . Double active cooling techniques was applied to 20 W polycrystalline PV module.…”

Temperature increases in photovoltaic (PV) cause reduction of PV efficiency. Some cooling technologies were proposed by researchers, both active and passive method. However, until recently, there is no implementation of PV passive cooling technology intended toward Floating PV (FPV) application. The objective of this study is to determine the performance of the thermosiphon passive cooling system for FPV array. Experiment results shows that floating PV array fitted with thermosiphon passive cooling system has lower module temperature of 41.11°C compared to floating PV array without thermosiphon cooling system, i.e. 49.57°C, and PV on ground temperature of 51.61°C. The lower PV temperature improves electric efficiency of floating PV array with thermosiphon by 27% compared to floating PV array without thermosiphon by 8.18%, both relative to ground PV array efficiency.
