“…To resolve multiobjective problems, two methods can be applied. The first one is to aggregate the objective functions into a single function by assigning them weighting coefficients, while the second is choosing from among the best Pareto configurations which allows us to reach the balance between reliability, cost, and water surplus of the system …”

Summary In this article, an optimal design model using metaheuristic techniques to overcome such difficult optimization problems has been proposed. For this purpose, various well‐known metaheuristic algorithms have been used, namely: ant lion optimizer (ALO), bat algorithm (BA), cuckoo search algorithm (CSA), and gray wolf optimization algorithm (GWO). To provide optimal system configurations, an objective function based on the total net present cost (TNPC) has been specified while taking into account a number of constraints, including the loss of power supply probability (LPSP). The effectiveness of the used algorithms in solving such problem is assessed and their performances compared with each other. To assess the suggested model's effectiveness, a case study has been conducted to investigate a stand‐alone photovoltaic water pumping system (PVWPS), designed to supply water to a one‐hectare field of date palm trees. This field of an oasis located in the Ghardaïa region of Algeria consists of 130 date palm trees spaced 9 m apart. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the GWO algorithm over the other algorithms. GWO converges toward the optimal solutions for different heads and all reliability levels required by the customer. Another aspect, supported by the developed methodology, is the accounting of the excess water volume. It has been found that the relative surplus is inversely proportional to the PVWPS reliability level. For a head of 30 m, the relative excess is estimated at 120% for LPS0%, while it is 27% for LPSP of 10%. The same observations are made for the other heads.

Summary Solar energy is effectively used to power stand‐alone photovoltaic pumping systems (PVPSs) for irrigation and drinking purposes in remote areas. However, random vicissitudes and the unpredictability of the amount of solar energy that can be harnessed lead to difficulties in designing PVPS. Thus, an optimal sizing approach is essential to ensure satisfactory performance. In this paper, a numerical iterative sizing approach based on technical and economic objectives is developed to optimize the configuraion of PVPS. The loss of load probability criteria is considered as the technical objective, while the life cycle cost criteria is considered as the economic objective. The proposed pumping system provides a daily water for a small village in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The proposed sizing approach is used to test all the possible configurations of a wide range of photovoltaic (PV) array sizes to specify the PV array configurations that realize the reliability condition. The optimal size of the storage tank and the optimal number of PV modules connected in series and parallel are specified to keep up a balance between the loss of load probability, life cycle cost, and excess water volume of PVPS. The performance of the system is tested on the basis of the proposed optimal configuration and hourly meteorological data for 1 year. The results show that the proposed system is available throughout most of the year.

Although photovoltaic (PV) irrigation systems are widely used in China, feasibility assessment of these systems is important because of differences in the distribution characteristics of solar resources and crops. In this study, kiwifruit planting in Shaanxi province was considered, and a calculation model for PV irrigation system evaluation was developed. Based on the geographical distribution of kiwifruit planting, as well as the spatial and temporal distributions of solar energy in Shaanxi province, the application potential of PV irrigation for kiwifruit was investigated comprehensively from the perspectives of technology, economy and irrigation feasibility. The results showed that the proportion of the PV module scale to the irrigation scale in all the kiwifruit planting areas in Shaanxi province was far less than 1.5%, and there were no technical obstacles. In Baoji, Weinan, Hanzhong and Ankang, the annual cost of the PV irrigation system was greater than that of the diesel pump irrigation system. Regarding irrigation feasibility, farmlands with a slope of 0%–8.75% were considered highly suitable for installing a PV irrigation system. The results revealed 32,269 ha of farmland appropriate for PV irrigation among the 66,371 ha of kiwifruit in Shaanxi province.
