2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY: (ICEAT 2022)

This study will focus on the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Irrigation is an essential of agriculture, and the process of irrigation takes place by transfer of water from water source to farm. However, energy is the main aspect to consider when carrying out the irrigation process. Due to shortages of electricity and the high cost of diesel, there are difficulties in meeting the demands of irrigation. In this study, solar energy is considered as one way to design a solar water pump that can be used on farms in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Photovoltaic solar panels have been assessed as a way to provide a successful solar water pump system with a minimum cost. The weather conditions for Duhok city in Kurdistan have been analysed to assess the solar water pump system for local use. The outcome of this study revealed that the solar water pump is applicable and can provide many benefits for the use of clean and renewable energy to transfer water from a water source to farms in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. A proposed design system with cost analysis is provided as an outcome of this study.
