Performance Evaluation of MPPT Based Photovoltaic Water Pump System for Sustainable Water Resource Management

Water resources are crucial for various human needs, including preventive health, food production, energy generation, ecological balance, and socioeconomic development. However, a significant portion of the global population, particularly in water-poor regions, lacks access to clean and sufficient drinking water. This paper presents a sustainable solution implemented with photovoltaic water pump system to address these challenges. This paper reviews relevant literature on photovoltaic technology, maximum power point tracking, and solar cell technologies. It also outlines the basic of BLDC motor for these applications including the functioning of the proposed photovoltaic water pump system. This conference paper explores the use of DCDC Boost Converter in photovoltaic (PV) systems to achieve Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The Boost Converter is discussed in detail, highlighting its significance in voltage boosting and power optimization for PV panels. Impedance matching is emphasized as a unique advantage of DC-DC Boost Converters, enabling the extraction of maximum power from PV arrays. The paper also presents the modes of operation for the Boost Converter, focusing on charging and discharging modes.
