“…In this paper, PVWP and WPWP systems for irrigation have been designed using a general approach derived from the results of previous studies [25,26]. Taking into account the variation of IWR during the year for one single crop or for multiple crops, the PVWP power peak P p,PVWP and the WPWP rated power P r,WPWP can be calculated with the following three equations: …”

Because of the rise in diesel and butane prices widely used for pumping, added to their negative impact on both Morocco's environment and trade balance, the use of renewable energies should sound obvious, practical and cost effective. This study offers the transformation of a traditional butane pumping system (BPS) and diesel pumping system (DPS), located on a farm nearby the city of Agadir, into an optimized solar pumping system (SPS). The suggested method is based on a techno-economic study according to the "Business-As-usual" scenario. As a first step, we have dimensioned our pumping system and chosen the elements that constitute it. As a second step, we carried out an economic analysis, based on the calculation of all costs, which makes it possible to ensure the viability of the components of our SPS over its life cycle and brought it to a discounted value. The processing of the different data is made possible thanks to the computer application "PVDesign" which we have developed. This application has allowed us to carry out a comparative study of several techniques of pumping systems. The result of the study is that the SPS beats the other systems at various levels, namely economic, environmental and technical.

Renewable energy sources are getting more and more popular due to the increasing world population and decreasing conventional sources. In recent years, climate change and global warming have also increased the amount of water needed for irrigation. Renewable energy sources may therefore be used to develop photovoltaic pumping systems. Using photovoltaic arrays to drive water pumping units for irrigation in remote areas and desert regions is an economical solution. The sizing of photovoltaic pumping systems is important in order to optimize the power peak of photovoltaic array and for the choice of motor, pump and inverter (when needed). A photovoltaic pumping system consists of at least six basic components: a photovoltaic array, a dc pump motor, a battery-charge regulator, a water tank, humidity sensors and an electronic control unit. The usage of such system is in a natural relationship between the availability of solar radiation and water requirement. In this study, the designed system is an electronically controlled system, based on humidity sensors. The water requirement increases with increasing solar radiation. Hence, the dc motor is operated by means of an electronic control unit. When humidity in the soil reaches a certain value, the dc motor is stopped. The operation of the control unit relies on the data received from humidity sensors. The designed system was implemented and the obtained results were satisfactory.
