Plentiful accessibility of fuels, non-erratic, reliable performance, low maintenance, low cost and high life are the significant factors for solar-PV-powered water pumping scheme for irrigation applications. It is highly used in irrigation system for cultivation where the utility-grid is non-available, hilly areas, forests, etc., by utilizing solar source with energy conversion methodology. However, the performance of overall irrigation scheme relies on energy conversion methodology by using feasible DC–DC converter. In this paper, a novel non-isolated switching cell type DC–DC converter has been proposed for acquiring greater performance of Brushless-DC motor to lift the water from ponds or canal through submersible pump. This observation is clearly presented and validated under steady-state condition by using Xilinx FPGA SPARTAN-6 hardware prototype; results are carried out and compared with various converter topologies.
