This paper presents a novel design aimed at enhancing the efficiency and performance of photovoltaic (PV)-water pumping systems by integrating a reciprocating pump powered by a six-phase linear induction motor (6PLIM). The proposed motor offers greater flexibility in controlling the pump's movement, allowing for precise adjustments of flow rates and pressure levels. Furthermore, the implementation of the Perturb and Observe (P&O) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method is necessary to maximize the output power of the PV system. The main objective of this study is to examine and evaluate the combination of the six-phase-LIM and the reciprocating pump integrated into a solar water pumping system. However, the major drawback of the linear rotor is the presence of the end-effect phenomenon, which increases the complexity of modeling and makes control difficult. To overcome this issue, a Field-Oriented Control (FOC) technique is suggested to achieve better efficiency and control flexibility of the motor. The accuracy of our proposed model is checked and validated using the Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results demonstrate that the combination of 6PLIMs with reciprocating pumps offers several advantages over traditional rotary motor-centrifugal pumps.
