Fabrication and Testing of Solar Powered Irrigation System by using Crank and Lever Mechanism

The intent of this project work is to provide general guidance on the design of small solar-powered water pump systems for use with livestock operations or irrigation systems. This work aims to provide a review of the basic elements of electricity, a description of the different components of solar-powered water pump systems, important planning considerations, and general guidance on designing a solar-powered water pumping system by using crank and lever mechanism. This also provides design examples for typical design models and standard drawings for use. This system consists of solar powered water pump along with an automatic water flow control using a moisture sensor and GSM system. It is the proposed solution for the present energy crisis for the Indian farmers. When the moisture content of the soil is reduced then the sensor sends detected value to the microcontroller. Then the water pump is automatically ON according to the moisture level. The main aim of this project is to reduce the human intervention for farmers and use solar energy for irrigation purpose and improvements in rural area by using lakes for irrigation purposes. In addition, the system is powered by an intelligent solar system in which solar panel targets the radiation from the Sun. Other than that, the solar system has reduced energy cost as well as pollution. The system is equipped with two input sensors; two soil moisture sensors. Soil moisture sensor measures the humidity of the soil.
