Desert Water Supply: Solar-Wind Pump, 7-Year ROI

Admin

Researchers from Isla University in Jordan have designed a system that combines solar panels, wind turbines, and battery energy storage systems to explore the feasibility of a solar and wind powered water pump system. The research results were published in the "A feasibility study of combining solar/wind energy to power a water pumping system in Jordan's Desert/Al-Mudawwara village" in the journal "Environmental and Sustainability Indicators".

The team stated, "Determining the feasibility of various hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) powering independent water pump systems (WPS) is an important step that can generate significant technical and financial benefits. The case study focuses on the consumption of Al Mudawwara WPS, a small village in eastern Jordan near the Saudi Arabian border.

The research results indicate that the optimal system consists of 33 solar panels with a total power of 10.18 kilowatts, 1 10 kilowatt wind turbine, 8 batteries, and 3 inverters. The energy cost (CoE) of the system is 0.241/kwh, with a payback period of 6.67 years and a net-present value (NPC) of $59.611.
