| Summary: | This project presents the usage of photovoltaic electricity in an automated
irrigation system that will be focused for paddy field in agriculture sectors. The
experimental setup consists of photovoltaic (PV) panels, the Arduino UNO
microcontroller, water pumping motors, backup batteries, and sensors. The system
capable of irrigating the fields at a pre-specified time, day/s of the week and
duration. It can also automatically irrigate the field if water level drops outside the
specific gauge point. This system also equip with wireless control module so that all
the vital data can be monitored and adjustment can be done in distance up to lOOm
away. This automated system is able make the user to interact with the graphical user
interface (GUI) from visual basic software that capable to take input from user farm
statistics, monitoring, adjusting the system and make recommendation for budgets.
Generally, this system will optimize the quantity of water required for paddy fields
and also will minimize the manpower usages. |
