Design and Analysis of Solar PV Water Pumping System

Abstract

Most of the developed and developing countries economy is depended on agriculture. Due to variations in climate and by unsustainable land management practices in dry land environment makes the desertification. It causes the crop failures, loss of perennial plant cover, reduced woody biomass and scarcity of fuel wood etc. To overcome the desertification, it should be sustain the agriculture across the country. To enhance the agriculture sector, the utilizing of renewable energy sources came into account for irrigation and water pumping. Solar water pumping system minimizes the dependence of conventional based electricity; there is a huge scope to utilize PV pumping system for water supplies, irrigation and agriculture in rural areas. The initiation of the work is to create the awareness about the solar PV water pumping system and design analysis for irrigation at rural area based on the type of irrigation, land area and cost.
