Development Report in 2003, it has been estimated that two billion people are affected by
water shortages in over forty countries, and 1.1 billion do not have sufficient drinking
water .There is a great and urgent need to supply environmentally sound technology for
the provision of drinking water. Remote water pumping systems are a key component in
meeting this need.
plants to produce potable water .In this thesis, a simple but efficient photovoltaic water
pumping system is presented. It provides theoretical studies of photo voltaic (PV) and its
modeling techniques.
3. LITERATUERE REVIEW
We have reviewed different projects which have been done in national and international level and
have got supportive ideas for our thesis.
Most of those materials we dealt with assumes and prefers the manual design and
implementation of the system since they dont use the ideas of controlling the system and using
different programming software.
So, our design approach is more modern type which allows us to fully control our system and
owe a communication device.
4. OBJECTIVES
Main objective
The main objective of this thesis is to design a solar powered water pumping system and ensure
whether it is financially consistent or not.
Specific objective
To design water level control circuit using microcontroller in Proteus and its
implementation.
To design and implementation of a DC-DC (Boost) converter using Proteus software.
To design a solar charge controller in Proteus and its implementation.
To use different software tools and hardware components which can simplify our system.
solar powered water pumping system design for water supply for irrigation
5. MOTIVATION
In our country, the life style of most of people especially that
agriculture is not that much attractive; Most of the farmers produces only once a year. Even no
style of using water pumping system in most of the areas of agriculture, even if they have enough
water resource around them.
So we are motivated to solve the above mentioned problems of our farmers to make them to
enjoy their life by producing more than once a year.
6. RESOURCE REQUIRED
Some of the resource required to complete this thesis successfully are listed below; we will
present their approximate costs after a market assessment later;
Photovoltaic module
MPPT and some power electronic devices
Submersible DC water pump
7. METHODOLOGY
The experimental water pumping system proposed in this thesis is a stand-alone type without
backup batteries, because it is applicable for remote areas, and agricultural.
As shown in Figure below, the system is very simple and Consists of a single PV module, a
maximum power point Tracker (MPPT), and a DC water pump.
The size of the system is intended to be small; therefore it could be built in the lab in the future.
The system including the subsystems will be simulated to verify the functionalities.
