Wind & Solar energy in Agriculture
PowerPoint Presentation Wind & Solar energy in Agriculture 3 Solar energy offers an alternative For many farmers, the alternative is solar energy. Modern, welldesigned, simpletomaintain solar systems can provide AZ solutions to farmers need. . These are systems that have been tested and proven around the world to be costeffective and reliable, and they’re already raising levels of agricultural productivity worldwide. 4 Wind systems Wind System renewable energy sources can also be used in agriculture. A very small wind systems can provide power that can be used directly or stored in batteries. These systems are very reliable in areas that get enough consistent wind. These systems are costeffective and reliable in farms. 5 6 Two types of solar systems There are two types of solar systems – One is that convert solar energy to D.C. power and second ones that converts solar energy to heat. Both types have many applications in agricultural settings, making farmers life easy. 7 Disadvantages of conventional fuels It is very normal to use diesel or propane to power generators in agricultural operations. there are some significant drawbacks, including: ∙ Fuel has to be transported, depending upon farm location ∙ Their noise and fumes can disturb livestock and local residents ∙ Fuel costs add up, and spills can contaminate the land. ∙ Generators require a significant amount of maintenance and, like all mechanical systems, they break down and need replacement parts that aren’t always available. 8 THANKS
