Optimizing the Use of Green Energies, an Application to Crop Irrigation
Journal Title: Carpathian Journal of Electrical Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper assesses the optimal farmland that can be irrigated by a predetermined renewable energy system. The optimal irrigated surface from an agriculture area, cultivated by potatoes and tomatoes and powered by a PV system is studied. Two scenarios are discussed: the constraints applied to the first scenario is the limited surface of the agricultural area. While in the second scenario, the surface cultivated with tomatoes must be at least ΒΌ the surface cultivated with potatoes. Linear programming based on the Simplex algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem. The obtained results show that for the specified cultivating area, and for 10 panels at hand, an optimal surface of about 5.6 ha and 4.7 ha for the first scenario and the second scenario, respectively can be satisfied.
