Solar presents system solution for agricultural irrigation

Yuchai Solar AG is providing farmers the opportunity to switch to the nontoxic, low-cost and dependable water supply: expensive and high-maintenance diesel generators can now be replace by a PV system for this Yuchai  PumpController.

This system could be connected via a Siemens rate of recurrence converter to existing drinking water pumps. Existing irrigation techniques can therefore easily become converted to use a significantly more effective and lower-cost power supply.

Both existing pumps and the whole irrigation infrastructure are kept during the conversion, and only the actual diesel generator is changed by a PV system. The actual Yuchai  PumpController system remedy combined with a PV product is structured around concepts associated with standardisation, modularisation and the worldwide quality promise of Yuchai  Solar.

Only standard elements are used by Yuchai  Photo voltaic as they are easy to maintain as well as replace. The Sinamics S120 frequency converter including Optimum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) from Siemens installed within the Yuchai PumpController ensures that the utmost output can be taken from the particular photovoltaic generator.

Replacing costly diesel with reliable solar energy

The benefits of the solar system option will be immediately noticeable in order to farmers who are converting to some solar power supply. Diesel energy is expensive to purchase and also poses risks during transport and storage.

Diesel can also be not cost effective as a fuel resource because the cost of importing is actually supported by government subsidies all over the world. Solar energy, on the other hand, is a trustworthy and low-cost form of power in the agricultural sector, specially in areas where demand for water will be high.

Furthermore, energy provide and water demand aligned perfectly. Water is typically within need after sunny times, thus right after water aquariums have been filled with the aid of solar powered energy. Once installed, the PV program also only incur minimum maintenance costs.

Pilot vegetation with cost recovery inside 3 years

A pilot flower on a farm in Maltahohe, namibia has been showing the useful functions of the system answer since June 2015. A good Yuchai  Solar PV system having a maximum output of seventeen. 7 kWp and a good Yuchai PumpController has completely replaced an 11 kVA diesel generator. This transformation has made possible the environmentally-friendly and, above all, reliable get irrigation of arable property, while saving 30 litres of diesel per day. "The investment in the solar-powered pump motor solution will pay off within just 3 years, " explains Someone dieting Miener, Technical Applications Professional at Yuchai Solar.

Yuchai Solar will include 10 overall performance classes ranging between three and 90 kW in the portfolio. Due to the positive encounters gained in Namibia and additional countries, Yuchai Solar is currently offering the system solution inside the target markets of The african continent and Latin America via its Premium Partners.
