A novel algorithm for optimal sizing of stand-alone photovoltaic pumping systems

Pumping water is one of the most popular technologies solar energy for irrigation or drinking supply. Its performance depends on characteristics site (sunlight, ambient temperature, geographical obstacles), modules, as well as, other equipment (converter and pump). The optimal sizing a photovoltaic pumping system makes it possible to guarantee satisfaction demand throughout period model electrical needs supply pump irrigate crops livestock. This paper proposed novel algorithm dimensioning elements an autonomous equipped with storage. determines surface area modules power necessary satisfy requirement in observed time. results obtained from are compared calculation scenarios show better results. A case study Fez-Meknes region Morocco has been selected applying algorithm.
