PV-driven drip irrigation system with compressed air storage

The proposed system uses compressed air to store energy, as well as for the prevention of clogging in the irrigation tubes. Two experimental systems were built and tested in China and clogging was reduced by up to 93%. Researchers from China's Northwest A&F University have developed a novel drip irrigation system powered by PV, which stores energy in the form of compressed air. The use of compressed air not only regulates the system's performance but also ensures uniformity in irrigation outflow and enhances the anti-clogging of the pipes. "Photovoltaic-powered drip irrigation is a vital approach ...
