- Abstract
Solar energy is a common source of power for an agricultural field in a remote area mostly for delivering water from the source that is usually far away. Pumping long-distance of water sources requires more than one pump to keep the constant pressure and water availability. It is difficult to customize the multiple inverters throughout the pumping phases especially for farmers. Besides, there is difficulty in assessing the pumping capacity of several pumps. This study proposes the method to solve this issue by designing a peer to peer system managing multiple pumps with solar panels, and water tanks with high-power lines for distributing the energy. The system is still able to pump water in low-light conditions through energy sharing and switching operation with less than 4% error between the simulation and the measurement. Experimented in both strong and weak sunlight, the proposed method is proved to be appropriate for implementing in any weather and agricultural field, especially the rural region without electricity.
