... Even though these problems can be reduced by integrating the system with utility grid supply. 12 However, the fluctuations in utility grid supply, specifically in remote regions, and higher initial cost with configuration complications, malign the reliability and cost-effectiveness of the pumping systems. These weaknesses of grid-connected solar water pumps can be addressed in another way by introducing battery storage as a backup source. ...
This work deals with a high gain (HG) DC-DC converter integrated scheme for solar power-fed water pump with battery energy storage (BES). The developed scheme confirms a reliable solution for non-interruptible water streaming under all environmental situations. The battery integrated with the system performs the functionality of a secondary energy source. The controller developed for the bidirectional converter at the battery side is incorporated the solar parameters. Hence, it enhances the dynamic performance of the charging-discharging of BES under varying environmental situations. The performance of solar panel output is optimized using an HG positive output Luo (POL) converter using the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. The simulation is carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the present scheme. The captured performances are authenticated through experimental results on a present system.

In this chapter, an overview of hybrid renewable energy systems is made. The different hybrid renewable energy systems are presented with the different configurations and architectures. In general, hybridization consists of combining several energy sources and storage units within the same system in order to optimize the production and energy management. In review papers, they can be found under the following names: hybrid renewable energy sources (HRESs) or multi-source multi-storage systems (MSMSSs). Wind and photovoltaic sources are one of the cleaner forms of energy conversion available. One of the advantages offered by the hybridization of different sources is to provide sustainable electricity in areas not served by the conventional power grid. They are used in many applications, but due to their nonlinearity, hybrid energy systems are proposed to overcome this problem with important improvements. The most used systems in the scientific literature are presented and then studied under MATLAB/Simulink. Readers are encouraged to use these schemes to test each example before making the control, and the supervision of HRESs is explained in Chapter 6.
There are many factors cause error of the reading of resistive sensors for monitoring water level influenced by several factors. One of them is the shape of the water tank. This study aims to improve the reading of resistive sensors to the shape of water tanks, regardless its shapes and volumes. It can be achieved by utilizing communicating vessels. The resistive-based on voltage divider sensor, in the form of two conductive wires dipped in water. This water level measurement uses STM32F103C8T6 as a data processing control. It serves a better capability for the sensor to read water levels in two tanks of different shapes and volumes. The resistive sensor can read the water level with an average error of 1.11 percent.
