Sizing Optimization of the Photovoltaic Irrigation Plant Components
Abstract
Sizing PV water pumping plants is an essential step for the system design and use, since it affects the installation autonomy, the safe operation, and cost of the system. Thus, in this chapter, a review on sizing algorithms in the literature is first detailed. Then, an algorithm to decide on the optimum components sizes of a PV water pumping installation, which are the PV panels surface, the battery bank capacity, and the reservoir volume, is proposed. The algorithm aims to ensure the system autonomy, the protection of the batteries against deep discharge and to pump the water volume needed for crops irrigation, by ensuring the pump supply during the required ...
