Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable energy is considered environment friendly energy source. One of the most popular applications of renewable energy is renewable water pumping system (REPS). REPS utilizes the power generated from renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind turbine to power a pumping system for different water pumping applications such as providing drinking water for domestic and irrigation. A properly designed REPS can be efficient and economical competitive to grid connected or diesel generator (DG) based pumping systems especially in the rural areas. However, the low energy conversion efficiency, maximum power operation, load matching, system control and optimization are still the major challenges of this technology.
Moreover, system’s performance, feasibility and sensitivity to with different types of storage systems are topics of interest. Thus, this special issue aims to collect and publish high quality papers that deals with such topics by proposing latest development with this regards.
Therefore, this special issue aim to cover topics such as photovoltaic and wind water pumping systems concept, theory, performance and feasibility, photovoltaic and wind water pumping systems design and control procedures modelling of photovoltaic and wind water pumping systems, power electronics applications for RE water pumping systems, AI application for RE water pumping systems, sensitivity analysis of RE water pumping, application of RE water pumping systems in agriculture and water treatment.
