The profitability of photovoltaic (PV) systems for irrigating Mediterranean greenhouse crops is analyzed. A standalone direct pumping PV system proposed. simulation model the was developed in order to obtain economically optimal design this and evaluate its feasibility. composed several submodels: power generation capacity submodel, management submodel that evaluates irrigation water requirements a representative overall economic performance system. effect total number sectors per hectare on...
World population growth is leading to an increased demand for energy and food. This creating a conflict over land use as terrain large renewable facilities not available agricultural. As solution, agrivoltaics combines the of agricultural photovoltaic exploitation. In this work, conversion installations with N–S horizontal trackers into agrivoltaic by cultivating tree crops in hedgerows between rows collectors analysed. Specifically, shading crop on panels studied. It has been proved that...
In recent decades, considerable efforts have been devoted to process automation in agriculture. Regarding irrigation systems, this demand has found several difficulties, including the lack of communication networks and large distances electricity supply points. With implementation LPWAN wireless (SIGFOX, LoraWan, NBIoT), expanding market electronic controllers based on free software hardware (i.e., Arduino, Raspberry, ESP, etc.) with low energy requirements, new perspectives appeared for...
Abstract Background Outpatient parenteral antibiotic treatment (OPAT) has proven efficacious for treating infective endocarditis (IE). However, the 2001 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) criteria OPAT in IE are very restrictive. We aimed to compare outcomes with those hospital-based (HBAT). Methods Retrospective analysis data from a multicenter, prospective cohort study 2000 consecutive patients 25 Spanish hospitals (2008–2012) was performed. Results A total 429 (21.5%) received...
Agrivoltaics is a new paradigm that combines agricultural and renewable energy production, making agriculture more sustainable, profitable, resilient. Applying the agrivoltaics approach to greenhouse production presents both challenge an opportunity. The opportunity lies in use of rooftops install PV panels provide required shading hot summer months efficient profitable way. relates fact intensity uniformity may affect crop development yield. To address this dilemma, present study proposes...
Abstract In this research, the application of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is proposed as a methodology to overcome problems related lack assign correct weightings for calculation indexes and subjectivity interpretations results. DEA linear programming technique determine relative efficiencies company when inputs outputs production units within are known, but productive process itself not. way, quantitative weighting any performance indicator can be assessed compared, permitting managers...
The semiarid climate of the majority agricultural districts in Mediterranean means that water is a key factor limiting production. It therefore necessary to distribute most efficient way possible and foment sustainable use this valuable resource. difficult task ascertain whether an irrigation district or not, given as resource cannot be considered isolated manner. development techniques for data envelopment analysis (DEA) has made it evaluate, global manner, where application efficient. DEA...
This work presents a new approach to increase the efficiency of heuristics methods applied optimal design water distribution systems. The is based on reducing search space by bounding diameters that can be used for every network pipe. To reduce space, two opposite extreme flow scenarios are analyzed and velocity restrictions pipe then applied. first scenario produces most uniform in network. represented with maximum accumulation. Both distributions calculated solving quadratic programming...
Standalone direct pumping PV irrigation systems are a special type of system in which water is not lifted to tank but, instead, pumped the satisfy crop needs. The operation these requires efficient new rules order maximize energy use efficiency as must be used instantaneously. In this work, we introduce multisector approach based on simultaneous several sectors according incoming energy. An innovative analytical model was implemented optimize system. proposed evaluated by applying it case...
The control of refrigeration in the food chain is fundamental at all stages, with special emphasis on retail stage. implementation information and communication technologies (IoT, open-source hardware software, cloud computing, etc.) representing a revolution operational paradigm control. This paper presents low-cost IoT solution, based free for monitoring temperature refrigerated cabinets. Specifically, use ESP-8266-Wi-Fi microcontroller DS18B20 sensors proposed. ThingSpeak platform used to...
Agrivoltaics or dual use of land for agricultural production systems and photovoltaic energy is experiencing a significant boom since it favours the sustainability efficiency both systems, while helping to alleviate conflict over protecting rural economies. In this context, essential study possible combinations between installations operations that optimize synergies systems. Specifically, solar irradiance common resource shared by necessary find balanced distribution protect agriculture....
