Bissau solar water pump application scenarios

There are many possible applications for solar water pumping, especially when considering that the pump can be combined with energy storage or other types of generation to make it more versatile. However, this guideline is related to solar only systems.

When designing a solar pumping system, the designer must match the individual components together. A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1.

The type of solar water pumping system: borehole/well (submerged), floating or surface will depend on the water source. If the source is a borehole (proposed or existing) or deep well, then a submersible pump that fits the borehole or well should be selected. If the water source is a river, then a surface pump should usually be selected.

Based on a tilt angle of 18 degrees, the lowest ratio is 0.438 so June will be the design month. If this is finalised as the design month, the solar water pumping system must then be selected based on an irradiation of 4.38kWh/m2 and the required flow of 10 m3 or 10000 litres (2,642 gallons). angle. This is shown in Table 12

A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1. Note: Motor and pump are typically directly connected by one shaft and viewed as one unit, however occasionally belts or gears may be used to interconnect the two shafts.

One good example within the region worth looking at and studying in terms of both potential and adoption of solar water pump systems is The Sudan. With a GDP of 40.8 billion USD, 10 th largest in Africa, Sudan's economy is mostly dependent on the agriculture sector.
