Analysis of Solar Panels for Solar Pumping Irrigation System - Vikram Singh - Bog

Water pumping systems using solar photovoltaic (SPV) energy are among the most advanced technologies for harnessing solar energy to pump water from deep-well subterranean water sources and provide safe drinking water around the world. However, the technology's use is discouraged by the gradual rise in global fuel prices and high maintenance costs. As a result, considering an alternate energy source for such an application is critical.As an alternative to diesel technology, the ideal size of this PV water pumping system incorporates theoretical research on photovoltaics and modelling of the electric power requirements for powering pumps to irrigate crops. The study determines the When irrigation water demand is higher due to seasonal variation, the best tilt angle for solar panels to capture the most solar energy is at those times.The irrigation demand was calculated for each step of the irrigation period by integrating climatic inputs, hydrology, crop type and stage of development, type of soil, moisture content, and irrigation technique are a few examples of other factors.
