From daytime irrigation to selling surplus energy: solutions to optimize the use of solar energy in irrigation communities
Hydraulics and Irrigation researchers present strategies for the use of energy in the Lower Guadalquivir Valley, which boasts the largest photovoltaic plant for self-provisioning
BONEX PROJECT | A European project seeks to optimize the water/energy nexus
The UCO is participating in the Bonex project, which aims to import solar irrigation systems from countries such as India and Pakistan into the Mediterranean area
Artificial Intelligence Used to Predict How Much Water Irrigators Will Use in Each Rate Period
A model developed by the Department of Agronomy at the UCO, based on Artificial Intelligence techniques, predicts how much water irrigators will use during different rate periods one day in advance, thereby optimizing energy usage
Low-cost Technology Reduces the Cost and Carbon Footprint of Pressurized Irrigation
Researchers from the Agronomy Department at the University of Cordoba have field tested a technology that takes advantage of excess pressure from the grid to generate energy, saving more than 2,000€ and 9 tonnes of CO2 per year.
