The work is dedicated to the investigation and analysis of the operation of the electromechanical system of an autonomous photovoltaic pumping station. Photovoltaic pumping stations are essential components of sustainable development, enabling efficient utilization of solar energy for independent water pumping. The study provides a detailed analysis of the structure and operation principles of the photovoltaic pumping station. Key components of the system, such as solar panels, electronic controllers, electromechanical pumps, and energy storage, were studied. Various methods for maximizing energy output from solar panels and optimizing the efficiency of pumping systems were examined. The research results revealed that the effective functioning of the photovoltaic pumping station depends on the precise balance of electromechanical components, optimal utilization of solar energy, and efficient management of electronic systems. Recommendations were put forth for improving the system's efficiency and reliability. Within the study, it was established that a crucial factor in the successful function of the photovoltaic pumping station is the selection of the optimal type of solar panels and their positioning to ensure maximum solar energy collection. The issue of storing excess energy to maintain system stability during periods of limited solar irradiation was also addressed. Moreover, the study included modeling and experimental research of various operational modes of the pumping station, including load variation and solar activity fluctuations. This provided crucial data regarding the dynamics and compliance of system operation with planned parameters. An important aspect of the research was evaluating the efficiency and economic viability of the photovoltaic pumping station in comparison with traditional energy sources for water supply. It was found that in some cases, the use of photovoltaic energy could be a more economically advantageous and environmentally cleaner solution. Overall, the results of this scientific work hold significant practical value for sustainable energy development and the utilization of renewable energy sources. The investigation of the operation of the electromechanical system of an autonomous photovoltaic pumping station contributes to a deeper understanding of the technological, economic, and environmental aspects of such systems. In conclusion, this research provides a deeper insight into the functioning principles of autonomous photovoltaic pumping stations and can serve as a foundation for further studies in the field of renewable energy utilization.
