Scientists have proposed a novel design for standalone solar PV water pumping systems, using an intermediate supercapacitor buffer to temporarily store solar energy and release it in high-power pulses ...

Developed by Egyptian scientists, the PV-powered water pumping system may produce up to 181.8 m3 of water per day. The system consists of two PV arrays with each a capacity of 4.6 kW and a pumping ...

Typically, when talk turns to power plant pumps, boiler feed and cooling water pumps immediately dominate the discussion. And that’s as it should be: these pumps are critical to a plant’s thermal ...

The global transition toward renewable energy has shifted from a visionary goal to a fundamental industrial necessity. As agriculture and water management sectors face increasing pressure to reduce ...

It is in the interest of regulators, engineers, architects, and system owners to find the most efficient paths to pump system solutions, particularly in the power generation sector. The rising tide of ...

I would like to thank Rebecca Ellis, P.E., for her 25 years’ worth of contributions to this publication. She has made, and continues to make, significant impacts on this industry, and I am grateful to ...

Cavitation is a troublesome issue in pumping systems, and can seriously affect performance and lifespan. However, modern ...
