Optimization Of A Photovoltaic Pumping System In Bejaia (Algeria) Climate, Rahrah Karima Jr, Djamila Rekioua Pr Jan 2015

Optimization Of A Photovoltaic Pumping System In Bejaia (Algeria) Climate, Rahrah Karima Jr, Djamila Rekioua Pr

REKIOUA Djamila Dr

Photovoltaic energy is used in different applications and especially in water pumping and irrigation in remote areas. However, the performances of a photovoltaic pumping system can be degraded with variations of insolation and in order to maximize the efficiency of the photovoltaic energy system, it is necessary to track the maximum power point of the PV array. Many methods have been developed to determine the maximum power point (MPP). In this paper we present the results of performance optimization of a PV pumping system in Bejaia (Algeria) climate. The pumped water is desired to satisfy the domestic needs of three …

Due to the continuous decrease of the solar cells cost, photovoltaic energy is used in different applications. The most important one is the water pumping system powered by photovoltaic generators. These systems can work with or without storage battery. With the increased use of this application, more attention has been paid to their optimum utilization. Many methods have been developed to determine the maximum power point (MPP). In this paper, to control the DC bus voltage, we apply field oriented control (FOC) strategy to induction motor (IM) supply by a photovoltaic (PV) system. And to maximize the efficiency of the …
