Characteristics of the concept of improving the operation work of the water supply system based on the use of solar photovoltaic energy

Sa？etak This paper describes the application of a solar photovoltaic energy for urban water supply. Proposed concept is based on the clean and renewable energy sources, as it is solar energy. Operation of the system is based on solar energy which is free and widely available. In this paper, solar photovoltaic systems have been applied for green electric energy production. Due to the importance of water supply for urban area sustainability, and due to a significant energy consumer whose price is increasing each day, alternative solution to power systems are sought in the form of water supply systems which uses solar photovoltaic generator. It is a system, whose operation is defined by a range of factors such as: climate, soil, hydrological data, water demand etc. It has to be analyzed and optimized with the application of a systematic approach. In this paper, basic characteristics of the system consist of solar photovoltaic generator, pump station and water supply service reservoir and main hydraulic and energy relationship between his elements will be presented. The methodology for the system analysis and design as well as economical factors will be also presented
