During
dry season at Kagera sugar LTD. electric bills increases tremendously which
increases production cost. The reason for such phenomenon is the increase in
the water requirement for the irrigation of the sugarcane plantation such that
all pumps are being run at the same time. These pumps are inductive loads.
hence drawing more inductive current hence exceeding maximum demand of power

The
main objectives of the project is to design a solar powered water pumping
system for irrigation system at Kagera sugar plantation
The specific objectives to accomplish the
main objective of the project are
a) To
evaluate solar irradiation level
b) To
design and size of solar water pumping system
c) To
develop and test the prototype
The significance of the project are
a) To
reduce maximum demand of power during dry period
b) Low
running cost
c) Irrigation
to remote area where cannot be reached easy
