Design and evaluation of solar-powered for pumping system using network control systems based on GSM module.

In India, most of the growers live in remote and hilly areas. They are forced to live without power since they are not connected to grid. The present trend of increasing oil prices becomes burdensome to the grower depending on diesel generator sets. The renewable energy utilization is one of the alternate sources for running the pump for supply water to irrigation land. In this paper, the solar energy is being used to operate the pump and can be operated at a given time depend upon the requirement of water to the field based on overcoming power supply issues and generation. The reason behind case study is water pumping network control system of Global System Module (GSM) work is to design, test and evaluate a wireless water pump control system customized for working in long distant places and improve efficiency. Also this shows the water effectively using solar energy operated pump by measuring the soil moisture using sensors and there by supplying the required quantity of water, it will designed for four crops namely; 1) Sun flower 2) Wheat 3) Ground nut 4) Corn. The evaluation of the performances is based on results for crops by using hardware device unit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
