Abstract
This study examines solar water pumping systems with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to fill a gap in the literature. PLC-based automation can improve these systems' reliability and efficiency. However, PLC integration with sensors, actuators, and pumps, power consumption optimization, maintenance, and cost-effectiveness prevent their broad implementation. This work analyses two configurations: a DC-DC boost converter-based MPPT solar water pump control scheme and a thorough PLC-based water pumping component research. A well-designed DC-DC boost converter provides motor voltage. This MATLAB-supported method uses solar panels and pumps to solve water scarcity and conserve energy in developing nations.
