Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems: Concept, Design and Methods of Optimizationlooks at the potential of effectively designed PVPS and how they can be commercially efficient and economically competitive to grid connected or diesel generator (DG) based pumping systems. The low energy conversion efficiency of PV modules, nonlinearity of PV module/array I-V characteristics and the unique maximum power operation point are major challenges of this technology, this book provides readers with design and optimization methods, codes and critical analysis of the recent developments in PV pumping systems. Focusing on system feasibility and suitable applications with design procedures, this reference presents a critical analysis of PVPS field performance, modeling and control strategies using artificial intelligence techniques. A suitable text for researchers, engineers and graduate students who are working in the field of photovoltaics and pumping and systems. Uses open source Matlab codes for PV pumping system optimizationProvides global cases studies and design examples for comparisonIncludes a data source sheet for proposed systems for successful implementation methods | Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems by Tamer Khatib, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
