“…Then, the panel yield is calculated for each month using (1) ( Table 1). In parallel, the water needed V is calculated, depending on the crops vegetative cycle and the site characteristics using (10). The initial values i S , and i C are summarized in Table 2, and used to test the condition presented in (17).…”

“…In this sense, researchers have established various methods to optimize the components' sizes of these installations, essentially the photovoltaic panels' surface and the battery bank' capacity [10]. For instance, some works have focused on developing analytic methods based on a simple calculation of the panels' surface and battery bank capacity using the energetic balance [11][12][13].…”

A sizing algorithm for a photovoltaic water pumping installation composed of photovoltaic panels, battery' bank, DC/AC converters and a water pump is presented. Considering criteria related to the battery' bank safe operation, fulfilling the water volume needed by the crops and ensuring a continuous operation of the pump, the algorithm decides the size of the installation' components. The installation' cost using the presented and the basic algorithms are compared. Obtained results confirm that the water demand is covered during the crops' vegetative cycle with a minimum use of the battery' bank and minimum cost. General TermsSizing, Photovoltaic Energy.

In this paper, an appropriate power conditioning unit of 1.15 kWp solar array, for PMDC motor, is designed in MATLAB ® and Xilinx system generator environment. The solar array consists of 7 modules in parallel configurations. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) generated pulses are used to control the proposed power conditioning system with constant voltage method maximum power point method for all types of environmental circumferences. It is revealed that the characteristics of the proposed power conditioning unit, at maximum power point tracking (MPPT) condition, are in tune with the characteristics of PMDC motor and hence found proficient to drive it. Hence, the proposed power conditioning unit can be coupled to PMDC motor, suitable for water pumping application, to reduce the crisis of water shortage in rural areas.
