In Indian context, the state government is providing subsidized electricity to the farmers to lessen their financial burden and to mitigate the challenge arising due to uncertain weather pattern. But the electricity supply has a limitation of timing and in near future the cost of electricity will certainly increase . On the other hand Indian government has launched many schemes to electrify the rural areas using renewable sources. PM KUSUM yojana being the one which aims to provide the solar panel to the farmers in subsidized cost. In this backdrop the proposed scheme is introduced to provide continuous power supply during day time to do the pumping activity and can able to serve light load during night time. The power generated from the solar PV is utilized to supply the load in sunny hour and the excess power is stored in the battery bank for use in later stage when the solar PV alone cannot meet the load demand. The application of battery bank will remove the dependency upon the grid and can be operated in standalone mode. Thus the present work aims to introduce the Solar PV system with battery bank and investigates the Standalone PV option for reliable, continuous and cost-competitive power supply.
