Microcontroller Based Flow Control System for Canal Gates in Irrigation Canal Automation

A Review of Control Automatically Water Irrigation Canal Using Multi Controllers and Sensors

“…Nevertheless, the battery voltage falls much lower below the 10.25V solar charge controller cut output load. The battery's lifespan is extended by this charging and draining procedure [68]. Another framework consists of Photovoltaic modules are an array of solar cells used in photovoltaic plants to produce and supply solar power.…”

“…The gate is powered by DC motor that is equipped with a gearbox in order to generate the necessary torque needed for its operation. The motor has the ability to move in both the forward and reverse directions based on the command given by the operator through a push button or remotely through a command sent by a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) via a communication link [68].…”

“…The selection of the motor type is contingent upon the specifications of the irrigation canal, the dimensions of the canal, and the components integrated into the control mechanism. It is commonly understood that direct current (DC) exhibits higher efficiency compared to alternating current (AC) as required in reference [68], but AC provide more torque as required in reference [69]. However, it has been noted that the bulk of irrigation projects tend to provide efficiency and better use of energy, which is why direct current motors are utilized in most irrigation canals.…”
