Loss-of-load probability of photovoltaic water pumping systems

This paper presents a method for estimating the loss-of-load probability (LLP) of a photovoltaic water pumping system. The study has been carried out for a constant profile, using a tank with a two day autonomy capacity and two pumping heads applied to a centrifugal pump. The method developed in this paper gives a simple tool for LLP calculation. The procedure can also be used to draw LLP maps with normalised parameters using long term observed...
