Design of Solar Photovoltaic Pumping system

About this course

Solar Photovoltaic Pumping system design means selecting system components like solar photovoltaic array size, inverter capacity and pump capacity for pumping ground water for  surface water .Though the design of solar photovoltaic pumping system is location specific a sound understanding of the design calculations of any case study will help the learners to design similar system for their own location own country.Often the courses of solar photovoltaic pumping system concentrate more on theory .This one however is different in the sense that it discusses the theory along with the calculations.The introductory part of to the course explains what is design and relevance of design of solar system for pumping applications.The course then dwells into the system components.Typea of solar pumps available along with their advantages and disadvantages are discussed.Pump terminologies useful for pump selection are explained.Solar inverter and controllers are explained to help gain understanding on control of pumpsFinally design of solar photovoltaic pumping system is explained with a case studyStudents after studying this course will be able to .Appreciate various terms and concepts used in solar photovoltaic pumping system.Independenrly learn how to select components of solar system for pumping water Concepts like flow rate,head , pumping power, rating of inverter, pump curve , efficiency, sizing will start making senseThis understanding is also essential. for entrepreneurs, for students who want to make solar energy as their career choice
