On the Field Performance of PV Water Pumping System in Libya

Abstract

This paper presents the measured performance of an experimental PV water pumping system of 1200W installed in the north-east of Libya. Both the monthly and hourly measured data of the system performance are presented and analyzed, and the over-all system efficiency has been calculated as monthly and daily averages. The monthly average output of the system has been estimated and compared with measured data. The economic analysis of the system has been carried out and the specific water discharge cost {SDC} has been determined. The obtained SDC was very competitive with the published SDC of the PV water pumping projects in some countries. The obtained results have demonstrated the technical and economic feasibility of using the PV systems for water pumping especially in the remote areas of high potential of solar insulation

“…PV Solar systems are employed in a variety of applications because to their versatility, convenience of use, and quick and inexpensive installation. They can have a broad variety of capacity, from milliwatts to many gigawatts, as seen in strategic photovoltaic solar fields [8][9][10][11][12]. In addition to leveraging solar cell fields to maintain and stabilize the network and reduce power fluctuations [13].…”

“…Among all activities, electricity generation is the most polluting sector, making solar energy the optimal solution to address environmental issues [1]. Utilizing the abundant solar energy potential in electricity generation and various thermal applications can help mitigate the impact of pollutants [2][3][4][5][6][7]. This, in turn, contributes to reducing pollution caused by burning fossil fuels and carbon emissions, which are the primary culprits of global warming and climate change.In line with this, during COP 27 (The UN Climate Change Conference) held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from 6th to 18th November 2022, the Libyan government unveiled its strategic plan for the next three decades.…”
