description Abstract In both the agricultural and industrial sectors, pumping water is essential. Due to its arid climate, our Saharan area has a substantial solar energy resource, making constructing a PV solar irrigation system possible. Given solar resources' unpredictable and intermittent nature, it is imperative to set up a system that permits optimal usage. This study aims to design and simulate a solar pumping system's effective nonlinear direct torque command. A solar generator provides an asynchronous three-phase machine coupled to a centrifugal pump as part of the system. MPPT monitors the boost converter via duty cycle. The solar generator's functioning at full power will be ensured. The first uses PSO in the MPPT system to supply the motor pump with three phases of power. The second one employs direct torque command (DTC) to regulate the operation of a centrifugal pump coupled with an induction machine. More advancements will be made to the DTC scenario. The proposed mathematical model of the solar irrigation system was simulated using a MATLAB simulation environment, adopting accurate data provided by Fadak Farm. The maximum power extracted from PV tends to peak at 280 Wp with the assistance of particle swarm optimization that energizes the use of the centrifugal pump for the proposed irrigation system. It is evident from numerical simulation results based on accurate input data that the power extracted from PV solar is positively affected by solar radiation and surface temperature variations. It is clear from simulation results that the speed of three–phase I.M motor converges to 22.5 rad/sec, and water flow pumping by centrifugal is decreased and increased, converging to 7.5 *10-8 m/s with the variation of solar irradiance.
