Modeling and Simulation Of 4.8 Kw Grid connected Solar Pv Based Water Pumping System For Sustainable Agricultural Irrigation

Abstract

The study presents the modeling and simulation of 4.8 kW grid connected solar PV based water pumping system for sustainable agricultural irrigation. With a focus on reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, the proposed system integrates renewable energy solutions into agricultural practices. The core components, including the PV array, boost converter, and three-level voltage source converter (VSC), are carefully developed to optimize energy transfer and power generation. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is employed to extract the maximum power from the PV array, while smart control mechanisms ensure efficient power utilization and seamless grid integration. The simulated performance analysis under varying solar irradiance and temperature conditions demonstrates the system's robustness and effectiveness. The research aims to promote the adoption of renewable energy-based solutions in agriculture, fostering sustainable practices and contributing to a greener future for farming.
