Simulated Design and Implementation of Solar based Water Pumping System

The efficiency of solar PV systems is influenced by external factors such as solar irradiance and temperature. Because of the low cost and environmentally friendly design, Photovoltaic (PV) based water pumping systems are viable alternative to conventional water pumps which are powered by electricity or diesel. Hence these systems are perfect for those areas that do not have connections to the power grid. As a consequence, in this article; we will look at how solar energy is transformed into electrical energy using a boost converter. The boost converter is used when the output voltage from a solar panel is inadequate to power a motor. A MATLAB/Simulink-based designs of a solar-powered pumping system with a DC Motor were performed in this study.
