Design and Analysis of a Solar-Powered DC Irrigation System: A Case Study of a Shrimp Pond

Abstract In this paper, a new approach for supplying water to shrimp production ponds in Purworejo, Indonesia, is proposed. The paper covers the design of a solar-powered DC water pump system (SWPS), system performance analysis, and economic analysis by comparing it with the existing fossil-fuel-powered pumps. The mathematical approach for the designing process is shown and Lorents Compass alternative tool is introduced. By taking into consideration the daily water demand of 50 m3/day, the annual-averaged local solar irradiation of 4.7 kWh/m2 per day, and the available components in the market, an SWPS in Purworejo would comprise a 1200 Wp PV panel and a 600 W DC pump submerged in a borehole in the seashore. The SWPS would be able to meet the daily water demand with small seasonal variations. The financial analysis shows high feasibility to install SWPS in Purworejo with a 1,6 years simple payback period, which is very short. The SWPS would provide more than 20 years of free energy for the farmers to draw seawater to the pond each day when the sun shines. It can provide not only environmental and social benefits but also significant economic advantages, both at the farm and the national levels.

This paper considered the design of a stand-alone PV system that would be adequate to power a single residence and estimate the appropriate size of the solar panel. This system converts solar energy directly into electricity using photovoltaic principle in PV panel arrays. The electricity produced can be used to power most ac and dc electrical appliances. Inverter is used to convert the dc generated by the PV panels to ac for most domestic and industrial use. For continuous availability of power during days of autonomy (low insolation or cloudy days), battery storage system and charge controller (for battery charge and discharge control) are required. inverter, charge controller, battery, components interconnection wires. The sizing processes considered the quality of solar irradiation of the geographical location, effect of temperature de-rating, efficiency of components, system voltage selection, days of autonomy and load demand (in watt-hour). A residence in Gaza town was chosen as a case study. The minimum electrical load of 7.875kWh per day, household, Finally excel program simulation was designed to satisfy calculation equations process and generalize the program.
