“…Oversized solar solutions increase installation costs and undersized ones result in poor reliability and where present, higher battery deterioration (Yahyaoui et al , 2017). System performance can be optimised in a number of ways, including the use of adjusting panels (Mokeddem et al , 2011), electrical controls (Chandel et al , 2017), remote monitoring (Kabalci et al , 2016) and component innovations (Benghanem et al , 2013; Ramulu et al , 2016; Setiawan et al , 2014). Storage is an important part of solar solution sizing (Reca et al , 2016; Sarkar and Ghosh, 2017; Yahyaoui et al , 2017) – where there is a mismatch between the water demand profile and irradiation patterns, battery and/or water storage is required (Yahyaoui et al , 2017).…”

Purpose This paper aims to propose that the socio-technical perspective is under-represented when appraising the adoption potential of renewable energy technologies (RETs) in late-industrialising countries and that this results in under-adoption. It also aims to identify a methodological approach that allows the socio-technical perspective to be integrated into management decision-making, alongside the more typical economic appraisal methodology. Design/methodology/approach A case study and novel mixed-methodology approach is used, which applies the diffusion of innovations framework, innovation system (IS) framework and system dynamics modelling (SDM) alongside traditional economic modelling and appraisal techniques. This approach is used to assess the adoption potential of solar photovoltaic (PV) and diesel water pumping systems in the wildlife conservation sector and surrounding rural communities in Kenya. The case study approach tests the merits of the mixed-methodology approach. Findings The life-cycle costs of solar PV water pumping systems are lower in nearly all financing and utilisation scenarios; offer additional social, technical and environmental benefits; and the conditions exist for greater adoption. The use of an integrated diffusion of innovations and IS framework generates significant qualitative data that can support management decision-making. The use of SDM techniques aid conceptualisation of the community economic, water and institutional systems into which water pumps may be diffused and provide a starting point for formal SDM simulation. The results suggest that these techniques capture the socio-technical perspective well and, when used alongside traditional project appraisal approaches, produce more complete information with which to support management decision-making. Originality/value This mixed-methodology approach could be used by practitioners to increase the diffusion and adoption of RETs in more complex contexts in late-industrialising countries. The emergent theory built through the case-study approach should be tested further to assess the merits of applying these techniques to support RET management decision-making in other contexts and more broadly.

“…These are Arduino (Bouzguenda et al 2019;Mahfuz and Al-Mayeed 2020;Pawar and Vittal 2019), Node MCU (Nawandar and Satpute 2019;Liwal et al 2020), Raspberry Pi, wireless sensor network (WSN), and so on (Deveci et al 2015;Al-Ali et al 2019). Many additional developed models have been realized using low-cost sensors and actuators and communicating through GSM, Bluetooth, and LoRa (Kabalci et al 2016;Stark et al 2020). Some studies are conducted remotely through the Internet and utilize web-based or mobile applications to monitor data in real-time (Joy and Manivannan 2016;Wu and Lin 2019;Nițulescu and Korodi 2020).…”

The optimal management of irrigation and fertilization is crucial for maximizing the yield and quality of tomatoes grown in greenhouses. To address this challenge, this study aimed to develop and implement a solar-powered Internet of Things (IoT) based drip irrigation system for tomato cultivation in plastic roof net houses. Additionally, the study evaluated the effects of water and fertilizer frequency on tomato yield and quality. The experiment was designed with 2 irrigation frequencies (1 time in a day and 1 time in 2 days) and 3 fertilizer frequencies (1 time in 2, 4, and 6 days), with 4 replicates of the tomato variety CH154. The results showed that the solar-powered IoT-based drip irrigation system was efficient, precise in water and fertilizer control, and inexpensive to install and maintain. This allows for real-time monitoring of water flow rate, flow sensor status, treatment status, and electrical parameters on the Node-Red dashboard. Irrigation frequency had a significant impact (p < 0.05) on fruit number, weight, and length per plant, with 1-day irrigation resulting in a higher yield than 2-day irrigation. No significant interaction effect was found between irrigation and fertilizer frequency on tomato yield or quality. In conclusion, the solar-powered IoT-based drip irrigation system demonstrated precise control over water and fertilizer, proving its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Real-time monitoring capabilities and the observed impact of irrigation frequency underscore its potential for enhancing tomato cultivation in greenhouses, offering a valuable contribution to sustainable and technology-driven agricultural practices.

Bu çalışmada, fotovoltaik (PV) sistemler için hem şebeke bağlantılı hem de ada durumda güç akışını sağlayabilen bir eviricinin tasarımı ve kontrolü sunulmuştur. Şebekede kesinti olması durumunda, önerilen güç ve kontrol yapısı güneş panellerinden dâhili yüklere güç akışı sağlamaktadır. Böylece, ışınlama süresi boyunca, kesintilerin yükler üzerindeki etkisi azaltılmış ve PV'de üretilen güç maksimum seviyede kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, PV panellerden maksimum seviyede güç transferi için Maksimum Güç Noktası Takip (MPPT) algoritması kullanılmıştır. MPPT algoritması evirici için bir referans akım üretecek biçimde uyarlanmıştır. Şebeke kesintisi durumunda sistem gerilim kontrollü olarak çalışmaktadır ve referans akım yük gerilimi ile nominal gerilim arasındaki hataya bağlı olarak bir çıkış üreten PI kontrolör tarafından belirlenmektedir. Önerilen sistem, MATLAB/Simulink ortamında modellenmiş ve doğrulanmıştır. Sonuçlar, önerilen sistemin her iki çalışma durumunda da güç akışını başarıyla sağladığını göstermektedir.
