The course describes the different configurations and components used in solar powered water systems (SPWS) and the criteria used to select, assemble and use them in order to provide water through the use of solar energy.<\/p>\n The course will enable water supply practitioners to independently lead the planning, design, implementation, operation and maintenance of solar water pumping systems. Moreover, the participants will become conversant on how to perform economic Life Cycle Cost Analysis of solar pumping systems, so that costing comparisons between solar and other pumping technologies scan be easily established.<\/p>\n The different modules are based on real field experience collected through onsite visits in more than 80 refugee camps and communities in 12 developing countries and therefore, it is especially suited for humanitarian and development workers willing to get the necessary expertise to start using SPWS in their projects worldwide.<\/p>\n Registration for this postgraduate course is open and students may begin at any time of the year.

It comprises the development and implementation of standardized high-voltage lithium-ion battery-based photovoltaic water pumping systems kits for water supply and other basic electricity uses in vulnerable populations located in Zimbabwe and Kenya. The selected communities were already equipped with a solar water pumping system and the intention is to take better advantage of the power generation capacity of the installed photovoltaic field.<\/p>\n The first three pilot projects were assembled in the Gwanda district of southern Zimbabwe, 600 km from the capital Harare. The selected sites had a 3 to 3.6 kWpk PV field and a 2.2 kW variable speed drive (VSD) for pumping water when the PV power was sufficient to exceed the pumping head of each installation. The water pumped by the PV system was stored in a reservoir and used by the community to irrigate agricultural crops.<\/p>\n Photovoltaic field of a pilot plant located in Gwanda district (Zimbabwe)<\/p><\/div> Water storage tanks of a pilot plant located in Gwanda district (Zimbabwe)<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n The preexisting solar pumping water systems were converted to high-voltage lithium-ion battery-based photovoltaic water pumping systems (PVWPS+LIB(HV)) by the inclusion of a X1-Hybrid-3.7-D-E grid-connected inverter from SOLAX POWER, with a rated apparent power of 3680 VA in the on-grid output and 4 kVA in the EPS output (emergency power supply) and up to 6 kVA for 10 seconds in the EPS output.

\n<\/a>Introduction<\/h2>\nThe UPV Lifelong Learning Centre training course \u2018SOLAR POWERED WATER SYSTEMS\u2019<\/strong> introduces the use of photovoltaic (PV) energy solutions for water supply systems. The course describes the different configurations and components used in solar powered water systems (SPWS) and the criteria used to select, assemble and use them in order to provide water through the use of solar energy.\n\nThe course will enable water supply practitioners to independently lead the planning, design, implementation, operation and maintenance of solar water pumping systems. Moreover, the participants will become conversant on how to perform economic Life Cycle Cost Analysis of solar pumping systems, so that costing comparisons between solar and other pumping technologies scan be easily established.\n\nThe different modules are based on real field experience collected through onsite visits in more than 80 refugee camps and communities in 12 developing countries and therefore, it is especially suited for humanitarian and development workers willing to get the necessary expertise to start using SPWS in their projects worldwide.\n\nRegistration for this postgraduate course is open and students may begin at any time of the year. Enrolled students who pass the examinations of the various modules will receive a certificate issued by the university.\n\nYou will find more detailed information about these studies in the \u2018Student Guide\u2019<\/a> and in the following sections. You will also find more information about the course on the website of the Lifelong Learning Centre (here)<\/a>, where registration can be made.\n\n
