Abstract

This paper explains cost analysis of drip irrigation system using wind-solar hybrid system. The power generated through the interconnected solar and wind hybrid system is fed to the submersible pump for drip irrigation and is examined continuously for reliability. The drip irrigation system described here consists of a submersible pump that consumes 1.18 kW of electrical energy per day on an average, which can drip irrigate mango crop planted over 1.5 acres of land. The corresponding cost analysis curves for solar and wind systems are drawn.
