Design, Construction and Implementation of Low Cost Photovoltaic Water Pumping System for Agricultural Irrigation

In this study, design, manufacturing and installation of a new agricultural irrigation system with a 2.2 kW photovoltaic (PV) panel, which has a lower volume and lower cost in terms of size and cost, was carried out within the boundaries of Batman province that has a long sunshine duration. Through making winding and connection changes on a 380v-star connected asynchronous submersible motor with 2.2 kW power, which operates compatibly with HSPL/H2200H model inverter, the HSPL/H2200L model inverter was brought in compliance with the delta having 220v between its phases and having output voltage. Dimension analysis of a photovoltaic system that was independent of the grid and where this new voltage level would be obtained was performed and the operation of rewinding the motor and changing the connection shape was explained. The real-time current, voltage and power data obtained after the installation are presented in tables and graphs. The advantages of this low-cost new irrigation system over the existing irrigation systems with similar power are explained in detail through the size and cost analyses.
