“…In the last decades, efforts are being made to supply water to meet drinking and irrigation needs in remote regions [10][11][12][13][14]. Over sixty pumps are already installed in the arid regions of the Algerian Sahara to supply water for drinking and irrigation [9,12]. In such systems, several critical problems may often occur in photovoltaic generator, the control panel, the cabling, and the transducers as well as at the pumps and compressor.…”

“…Algeria is one of the country characterized by a large area, with more than seventy percent (70%) is desert. Algeria is situated among the countries with a large area and better placed for the utilization of solar energy [5,9]. In the last decades, efforts are being made to supply water to meet drinking and irrigation needs in remote regions [10][11][12][13][14].…”

The use of renewable energy is growing significantly around the world. In front of the growing demand for electricity principally for the remote and isolated areas, photovoltaic systems, especially water pumping systems, begin to find great applications. Unfortunately, these systems have faced a number of problems even nowadays: a problem of maintenance and repair. Augmented Reality (short: AR) seems to be a powerful promising technology that can answer to the problem related to the maintenance of photovoltaic pumping systems The introduction of e-maintenance can reduce cost and provide fast and easy access to relevant information for the worker by freeing distance constraints. In this paper, a distributed emaintenance platform based on AR benefits for photovoltaic pumping system is proposed. The distributed aspect of this system will allow the remote collaboration between a remote expert and a worker. Two main aspects are studied and developed. The first aspect addresses a new collaboration strategy based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The second aspect ensures the virtual objects transfer from the remote expert in real time. Experimental results are conducted in a first time in a mini solar station to show the feasibility of the approach.

“…Solar water pumping has attracted the attention of scientists and engineers since the beginning of the last century. Scientists used a method of converting solar energy into electrical energy to pump irrigation water and published many works on studying the technical and economical factors and climate under different operating conditions in different areas [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . Most researchers concluded the possibility of using solar energy to pump water for irrigation using small size pumping devices that fit small spaces ranging between (2.5 -5) acres that will be economical in operation.…”

In this research a well water pumping system utilizing solar cells generated electric power is designed and implemented. We assumed a village located in a remote area of southern Baghdad for providing a quantity of water of 30000lit/day (30m 3 /day) to meet the daily needs of the quench and irrigation. Calculations show that the amount of water required can be obtained from a well of water head (15m) by using an array of solar cells that gives a power of (1300W) to submersible pumps capable of raising water by converting electrical energy to a dynamic power. The cost of the pumping system using solar energy is more economical and less expensive than using diesel pumping system. It is recommended to use the present solar energy pumping system in Iraq as it is one of the richest countries with solar power; however, suffers nowadays a scarcity of surface water. .

“…Access to water supply in rural areas in many developing countries such as Zambia (for household, livestock and irrigation use) is very difficult and time consuming [13]. This is because people have to walk for long distances to draw water from rivers, streams, shallow wells, or boreholes that are usually located far from the communities [14].…”
