Smart hybrid PV-wind energy system for sustainable agricultural water pumping in Mediterranean region
Abstract
This work investigates the performances of a photovoltaic (PV) and wind for water pumping system designed to improve water accessibility in rural and agricultural areas in a Mediterranean region. By combining these two sources, the system maximizes energy across diverse environmental conditions, addressing the intermittency challenges. Through simulations, the study evaluates the system's energy efficiency and water output. The integration of a storage solution and a fuzzy logic control strategy further enhances the optimization of PV and wind power. This hybrid configuration shows the importance of renewable energy production and water management using techniques used in the Mediterranean region. The results demonstrate that the hybrid system offers a sustainable solution for agricultural irrigation and potable water supply. It represents a reliable alternative for off-grid applications, contributing to the sustainable development of energy and water resources in remote and rural areas.
