Abstract This work deals with the development of an efficient and reliable solar photovoltaic‐fed water pump with a battery energy storage (BES). This system ensures a continuous and rated supply of water in all working conditions. A new control logic for BES is developed, which significantly improves the overall response of the system. The support of the battery as a backup source is obtained through a bidirectional DC‐DC converter. Both the charging/discharging control and maximum power tracking of the solar panel are achieved through this bidirectional converter, whereas the voltage asymmetry compensation across split capacitors at DC link and motor drive controls are supervised by switched reluctance motor converter. The performance of the present scheme is examined through both simulated and experimental responses and is found adequate under all operational scenarios.
