DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF SOLAR AGRICULTURAL WATER PUMPING SYSTEM FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSE
Abstract
ustainable agriculture is the central to achieve sustainable development goals from poverty alleviation to food
security to livelihood security. Solar photovoltaic water pumping system is one of the most potential and
economic viable as compared diesel operated or grid operated solar pump. The main objective of this paper is to
help the farmer to irrigate their field through drip irrigation by using of a DC solar pump. In this paper
Simulation of solar water pumping system was carried out by considering various parameters such as
geographical site, pumping system parameters, collector plane orientation, the efficiency of pump (39.5%),
amount of water pumped as 5486 m3 were calculated by using PV Syst software. In this paper a MPPT DCconverter, solar PV panel 250 WP was used.
