PROJECT PROPOSAL - introduction


INTRODUCTION
Each student who takes an engineering degree at UniKL BMI technology should complete the final year project report. Final year project is one of scientific research related to the field of study in the faculty that must be provided by the final year students as being eligible for the award of engineering technology degree. This introduction describes the project objectives.
The purpose of this project is to provide water to farmers and landowners with information on planning and installing solar-powered water pumping systems. Because every location has different needs and resources, this project provides the general principles required to make an informed decision on whether or not a solar pump is right for your operation.
While there are several possible methods for supplying water to remote pastures, such as wind, gas/diesel pumps, and ram pumps, solar-powered water pumps may offer the best option in terms of long-term cost and reduced labor. In the relatively rare instances with favorable topography and spring or pond location, ram pumps or gravity feed may be better options. In flat areas where the water is supplied by a remote well and where there is limited access to the power grid, solar pumps appear to be the best option.
Solar pumps offer a clean and simple alternative to fuel-burning engines and generators for domestic water, livestock and irrigation. They are most effective during dry and sunny seasons. They require no fuel deliveries, and very little maintenance. Solar pumps are powered by photovoltaic (solar electric) panels and the flow rate is determined by the intensity of the sunlight.
Solar panels have no moving parts, and most have a warranty of at least 20 years. Most solar pumps operate without the use of storage batteries. A water tank provides a simple, economical means of storage. Solar pumps must be optimally selected for the task at hand, in order to minimize the power required, and thus the cost of the system. A wide variety of solar pumps is available, to meet a wide variety of needs.
