Abstract – In this article, we present monitoring and control under LabVIEW for a photovoltaic
water pumping test bench (PVWPTB) installed at Centre de Développement des Energies
Renouvelables (CDER), Algiers, Algeria. The first part of this work deals with the electronic
instrumentation, which includes the wiring, measure and calibration of sensors and control of the
actuators performed by Agilent 34970A, the second part is dedicated to the program development
under LabVIEW environment and design a convivial graphical user-interface to retrieve data
measured by sensors and control the valves mounted on the PVWPTB. The software platform
designed has served as a system of monitoring and control for a PVWPTB automatically with
multiple scenarios. All data obtained from the user-interface were recorded and archived in a
database.

V. Results
V.1. Functionality
Creating a friendly and extensible interface. Daily wave chart in real-time for measured quantities
Communication through either GPIB or RS 232. Remote and auto-control for pneumatic valves.
Sampling frequency chosen by the user. Recording data in an Excel file.
Digital indicators for measured quantities. Compatible interface. Exe extension.
V.2. Results presentation
In this test the pump Lorentz PS150C is powered by six (6) PV modules ATERSA 75w (2s * 3p) installed since
2001, for the test results, as examples here are following figures.
