Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system has been becoming increasingly important in remote, isolated, and non-electrified population, where either accessibility to the grid is difficult to establish or implementation cost is indeed very high. In such location, PV water pumping application is significant area of interest for sustainable development. In this article, DC and induction motor as part of multi and single stage water pumping system has been reviewed. The maximum power point (MPP) at which PV system is to be operated is tracked by peak power tracker to utilize solar power. Therefore, the peak power tracking algorithms with voltage, current, duty cycle, and frequency as perturbation parameters under uniform and non-uniform insolation are also presented. Review reports on PV emulators used for evaluation of new MPPT control techniques, and microcontroller based implementations of MPPT controller are also presented. Thus, this article becomes reference document for developing DC/AC PV water pumping system.
