Abstract

This article focuses on the technical and economic feasibility of an autonomous solar pumping system to supply water to a gravity tank for irrigation of an experimental nursery with an area of 01 hectare located in the region of Ouled Fares (W. Chlef). This tank can guarantee an autonomy of 04 days, or 6 kW of energy, and the electricity needs of a water pump are around 1.5 kWh/d. The pump re-quires a nominal power of 0.75 kW and must operate at 100% of this power. The HOMER software was used to simulate the autonomous system in order to determine the size and number of PV to install and perform the optimal configuration. Data relating to global solar radiation and air temperature were collected between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018 at a weather station installed in the study area. The study concluded that the proposed PV system is the most economical. It can produce 3020 kWh/year with an energy cost (COE) of $0.814/kWh and this system meets the needs of the chosen solar pump which are around 512 kWh/year. In addition, the comparison showed that the autonomous system is the best choice compared to the connection to the conventional network with COE $0.047/kWh when the connection distance exceeds 0.126 km.
