Comparative economic viability and environmental impact of PV, diesel and grid systems for large underground water pumping application (55 wells) in Jordan

Abstract: The current work was based on four selected underground water production wells (W25, W29, W34 and W47), out of 55 wells available in total, at Disi water project located south of Jordan to power underground water pumping using a stand-alone solar photovoltaic (PV) system for an operation period of 25 years. The economic viability of large stand-alone solar PV system of 13 MW in total had been analysed through life-cycle cost computation compared with other four possible powering options, i.e. genset-powered, g… Show more

“…That results in the decrease in carbon dioxide emission [74,75]. There is a methodology to find out carbon dioxide emissions savings of a separate PV plant [76][77][78]. However, the selection of the optimal location of solar power plants, taking into account the local characteristics of the area, remains to be an unresolved problem [79].…”

“…The carbon dioxide emissions occur only during the manufacturing process. Their values vary from 170 to 360 kgCO 2 /kWp [76,91]. The novelty of our study is the use of the r.green.solar model calculation the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and their spatial distribution.…”

“…The cost comparison of four feasible power generating options such as genset, grid, PV‐grid, and PV‐genset for a massive underground water‐pumping application is carried out in Jordan 98 and its comparison chart shown in Figure 17 indicates that PV has least power generating cost of $0.136 per kWh. Thus, operation of water pumps using SPVWPS would result in lesser cost per kWh, reduced CO 2 emissions with minimized payback period.…”
