Account for on-site irrigation network energy demand #73
Description
Add energy requirements calculations for the on-site irrigation network. This can take into account the following parameters:
- Energy type (e.g. electricity or diesel).
- Irrigated area.
- Pumping efficiency.
- Irrigation technology (surface, sprinkler or drip).
Following, useful data taken from the energy use in agriculture survey in Jordan from MEMER (only in Arabic):
Table 1. Percentage of the driving force of the irrigation network pump
| Energy source for the irrigation network | Percentage (%) |
|---|---|
| HV network | 69.9 |
| Standalone generator | 3.2 |
| By connecting with the source of the driving force of the well pump | 1.2 |
| Gasoline / diesel | 25.7 |
Table 2. Pump use percentage by output in irigation network (m3 / h) (graph 11)
| Output (m3/h) | Percentage (%) |
|---|---|
| 1--50 | 70.2 |
| 51--100 | 26.8 |
| 101--150 | 2.4 |
| >151 | 0.5 |
Table 3. Percentage of irrigation method used, depending on the source of energy in the irrigation network (table 29)
| Energy source for the irrigation network | Sprikler irigation | Surface irrigation | Drip irrigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| HV network | 3.60% | 5.20% | 91.20% |
| Standalone generator | 10.80% | - | 89.20% |
| By connecting with the source of the driving force of the well pump | 2% | 2% | 95.90% |
| Gasoline / diesel | 3.40% | 4.20% | 92.50% |
Table 4. The average number of hours running the irrigation network in summer and winter, according to governorate (table 31)
| Governorate | Summer | Winter |
|---|---|---|
| Amman | 7.37 | 3.41 |
| Balqa | 7.71 | 3.55 |
| Zarqa | 8.67 | 3.55 |
| Madaba | 4.77 | 1.6 |
| Irbid | 8.59 | 4 |
| Ajlun | 8.87 | 2.91 |
| Jarash | 7.68 | 4.21 |
| Mafraq | 10.18 | 3.94 |
| Karak | 7.18 | 3.73 |
| Tafilah | 6.95 | 3.9 |
| Ma`an | 9.2 | 3.66 |
| Aqaba | 8.36 | 4.85 |
