Solar Pumping for Green Campus

Abstract

Morocco has made significant investments for the mobilization of water resources, currently, 911,000 hectares (ha) already been irrigated in a sustainable way. The Morocco, agriculture represents 6% of Morocco's national energy consumption; this percentage is expected to increase with the Morocco green projects and the integration of solar energy in agriculture. In view of this, we present in this paper the experience of a Photovoltaic (PV) pumping project applied to our University (Ibn Tofail Kenitra). Since we had the idea to work on this context with the solar pumping for irrigated part of green areas that exists within our University. This study was applied on a surface of 6620 m2 on which we changed the conventional system based on conventional pumping with a newly develop electrical PV pumping system who was composed by eight PV modules of which two are in series and four in parallel, and two centrifugal solar pumps. The system pumping over the sun and stores water in a storage tank (80 m3 and a diameter about 5m). With this configuration, our proposed system presents an efficiency of 69.4%.
