Sizing of the wind turbine 3.
with high-incident solar-energy. Solar energy has environmental advantages, low operation and maintenance costs and increasingly low investment costs. Until recently, the use of solar energy for irrigation had not generated a lot of interest amongst governments, farmers and development agencies because of its high investments costs.
The Solar Powered Water Irrigation system is designed to filter and collect water from a natural water source, like a spring, lake, or well, into a collection container. Once filled the water will be pumped to the reservoir for long term storage. When it is time to irrigate, the system leverages two distinct methods depending on the terrain.
The goal of this project is to create a system that uses solar energy for intelligent irrigation and enables more effective water conservation on fields.
