Book Synopsis Conservation of Energy Using Variable Frequency Drive for Center Pivot Irrigation Systems in Nebraska by : Dilshad Brar
Download or read book Conservation of Energy Using Variable Frequency Drive for Center Pivot Irrigation Systems in Nebraska written by Dilshad Brar and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study introduces a novel approach to lower the operating pivot point pressure by varying the motor speed with the help of variable frequency drive (VFD) in contrast to the commonly used fixed speed approach. By varying the speed of motor, the required minimum pivot point pressure can be provided at any required flow rate. This was investigated through a GIS-assisted simulation on 100 randomly selected pivots located in 10 Nebraska counties using high resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) datasets. Center pivot irrigation systems are usually equipped with corner watering attachments like end guns and corner extensions to irrigate additional area at the corners of the field. Two different types of corner watering equipment i.e. end gun and corner extension were involved in this study. Four different scenarios were taken into consideration 1) standard systems with seven towers and no corner watering attachment, 2) end gun attached at the end of center pivot system, 3) corner extension attached at end of center pivot system, and 4) center pivot system equipped with corner extension and end gun. Two different approaches were used to operate the center pivot systems 1) at constant motor speed with fixed design pivot point pressure, 2) at varying motor speed according to the minimum required pivot point pressure. The varying topography as well as the shape of the pump performance curve at fixed motor speed were found to play a major role in energy conservation. The energy reductions obtained through varying speed approach, along with annual monetary savings were calculated for all the study counties under all the scenarios. The major factors contributing to maximum energy savings and annual returns were large topographical changes, shape of pump performance curve, long irrigation operating hours, and high electricity costs. Cedar County showed the maximum average energy reductions by using varying speed approach whereas Hamilton and Butler County expressed minimum energy reductions in all the scenarios. Economic analysis was conducted for the potential investment in VFDs along with the average payback periods for the cost of VFD in each county. Overall, the suggested use of the Variable Frequency Drive has proven to provide savings in terms of energy conservation from the analysis performed in the study. However, there are emerging concerns about the cost-effectiveness of the approach. It is expected that the technology will receive high adoption, specifically in irrigation sector, from producers, research community and industry, if manufacturers are able to address economic concerns of the end user. This study provides a holistic approach in quantifying the energy savings over a large study area, which provides the producers, water resource managers, planners, and decision and policy makers, a clear picture of the widely variable anticipated benefits when aiming at adoption of a VFD.

Download or read book Innovative Movable Surface Irrigation Systems (modified Pivot) written by El-Hagarey Mohamed and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Center pivot modification depends on replacing the sprinkler head (sprayers) by Polyethylene hoses ending by nozzles. The main objectives of this study are to modify pivot irrigation system to be more suitable to irrigate trees, and other crops under special conditions and to evaluate the modification system. The obtained results, High uniformity coefficient of modified pivot is up to 90% and TDH is 1.5 bar, Energy requirements for the modified pivot is lower than the energy requirement at pivot, its lower with (26% - 80.3%). The energy cost for modified pivot was lower than the sprinkler pivot by (81.25%), the cost of one m3 of water in LE for modified pivot was lower than sprinkler by (62.9 %), and finally, cost of the unit production unit (LE/kg) for modified pivot was lower than the sprinkler pivot by (23 %). Flexibility of modified pivot to irrigate shrubs, small trees, and plants which sensitive to water with any fungal disease or flowers fall.

Download or read book Agriculture and Energy written by William Lockeretz and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 783 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture and Energy consists of the proceedings of a conference held at Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, on June 17-19, 1976. The conference aims to bring together a broad spectrum of researchers concerned with obtaining a better understanding of the energy consumption by agriculture. These researchers are also concerned with developing ways to help food production adapt to occurring and anticipated resource availability problems. This book is organized into nine parts, separating the papers of the conference as chapters. It describes the quantity of energy consumed in particular production processes or in production at various levels of aggregation in the field of agriculture. It also dwells into the economic impacts of energy problems on agricultural production. It looks into the comparative economic and energy costs of the various methods for producing a specific product. Furthermore, this reference material discusses unconventional production methods that can reduce the need for fossil energy inputs by using renewable energy sources or recycling materials. Lastly, the implications of the energy situation for agricultural policy, both in the U.S. and in developing countries, are shown.
