Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Photovoltaic Water Pumping System is one of the main focuses of contemporary studies as well as of the production of commercial firms, as they allows the utilization of renewable energetic resources and can be used in areas in which the electric grid is not reliable. The design, the realization and the research about Photovoltaic Water Pumping System is based on knowledge and competences belonging to different fields of engineering such as mechanical, electronic engineering and civil engineering.

The main components of Photovoltaic Water Pumping System are: PV plant, electric pump, electronic control system, electric cables and hydraulic pipes. They can be equipped with or without a water tank and with or without an electrical storage system.

While designing a Photovoltaic Water Pumping System one must take into consideration a great number of variables. In fact several kinds of hydraulic and electric machines can be chosen, and even power electronic converters offer a notable range of characteristics that can be differently selected.

Based on these preliminary remarks, this Special Issue will focus on the:

  • innovative solutions for Photovoltaic Water Pumping System
  • design of Photovoltaic Water Pumping System or some of its main parts
  • advanced control techniques for Photovoltaic Water Pumping System
  • Electrical storage and hydraulic storage management techniques
  • highly reliable or low cost Solution  for  Photovoltaic Water Pumping System meant for developing countries.
  • simulation of Photovoltaic Water Pumping System
  • review of different kinds of Photovoltaic Water Pumping System
