POLICY PAPER Sustainable Solar-Powered Irrigation Systems
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Despite their relative novelty, solar-powered irrigation systems (SPIS) have earned a reputa-tion for contributing to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
This project presents a solar-powered drip irrigation system designed to promote sustainable agriculture, reduce water waste, and enhance crop yields. The system utilizes an Arduino-based platform to track temperature, humidity, and water levels, controlling water pumps accordingly to ensure efficient irrigation.
In conclusion, the Smart Solar-Powered Drip Irrigation System offers a scalable and sustainable model for precision agriculture, setting itself apart from similar initiatives through its cost-effectiveness, accessibility for rural communities, and integration of renewable energy.
The solar-powered drip irrigation system has a pump that pumps water from a water source through a network of pipes. The pipes deliver water to the root-zone of the crops through drip emitters. Various sections of a farm are irrigated by opening and closing different valves.
The subsystems are highly interdependent during system operation. This paper presents the Solar-Powered Drip Irrigation Optimal Performance model (SDrOP), a holistic model that accurately captures subsystem relationships and employs a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to produce optimal low-cost, solar-powered drip system designs.
