Study of economic and sustainable energy supply for water irrigation system (WIS)

Water irrigation systems (WISs) are an important factor for agricultural development and food security. However, their energy supply is affected by several problems related to the use of diesel generators, especially in remote areas. This paper describes a new methodology used design cost-effective sustainable solution provide water system with demand 40 kWh/day. A combined side management (SSM) load shifting (LS) strategy, which component (DSM) concept optimization systems, was implemented. HOMER select appropriate based on technical, economic environmental criteria. general comparison between simulated scenarios (PV/Battery, PV/Battery/Diesel, Diesel generator) carried out using cost (CoE), total net present (TNPC), CO2 emissions renewable fraction (REF). The results show that PV/Battery/Diesel scenario most optimal attractive. also strategy. Compared without LS, LS offers 19.25%, 20% 10.70% reduction CoE, TNPC emissions, respectively, addition significant savings electricity bill REF improvement.
