Maximizing the potential of PV irrigation in Spain's 'Sea of Plastic'

Spanish researchers have developed an analytical model to optimize the operation of PV water pumping systems. They say simultaneously irrigating different parts of a farm could help minimize costs and maximize energy use. The model was tested on an olive farm divided into four zones in the Spanish province of Almería.Scientists from the universities of Córdoba and Almería in Spain have created an analytical model to optimize the utilization of solar-powered irrigation systems. The proposed approach - described in the paper Optimal management of a multisector standalone direct pumping photovoltaic ...
