Renewable Hybrid Systems for water pumping: a review

Several studies and applications of renewable systems for water pumping are developed in the literature, but these are mostly plants operating with a single source, usually photovoltaic (PV). In this article we present a systematic literature review on hybrid renewable systems applied to water pumping, verifying the applicability and the different sources, serving as a reference for future research. PV is the dominant generation with a presence in 86% of the articles; wind appears in 81% and hydro power plants in 53% of the papers.
