Abstract

Solar water pumping systems are considered one of the best solutions especially in rural and isolated areas where the traditional sources of power (electricity or diesel) are unavailable or very costly. It represents a clean source of energy, available with abundant quantities with very good average daily solar radiation of about 5.5 kW h/m²/day. The present work provides a comprehensive study for a complete design of the solar pumping system components with different water demands. A computer program is designed and developed to offer the system design and the solar simulation model is presented. The hydraulic power, photovoltaic (PV) peak power, PV required area, and total system costs for different total dynamic heads and different water demands ranged from 1–1000 m³/day are calculated. The present research is a good tool for designers, users, and buyers of such systems. It is found that the PV solar water pumping system is more economically feasible than diesel generators up to a water demand of 100 m³/day. The model is a needed tool for all concerned in the field of PV solar water pumping including costumers.

埃及太阳能抽水系统选型的综合设计工具

摘要

太阳能抽水系统被认为是最好的解决方案之一，特别是在农村地区和偏远地区，那里传统的动力源（电或柴油）不可用或成本很高。它代表着一种清洁的能源，可以提供充足的能量，每天平均平均太阳辐射约为5.5 kWh / m ² /天。本工作为具有不同需水量的太阳能抽水系统组件的完整设计提供了全面的研究。设计并开发了一个计算机程序来提供系统设计，并介绍了太阳能仿真模型。对于不同的总动压头和不同的需水量，液压功率，光伏（PV）峰值功率，PV所需面积以及总系统成本为1–1000 m ³/天进行计算。对于这种系统的设计者，用户和购买者来说，当前的研究是一个很好的工具。已经发现，在每天需水量为1​​00 m ^3的情况下，PV太阳能水泵系统比柴油发电机在经济上更可行。该模型是PV太阳水抽水领域的所有相关人员（包括客户）的必需工具。
