Study of Alternative Energy Based on the Economy and Environmental Pollution, Diesel Engines Will Be Replaced by Solar Water Pump System Power
All the schemes in the western Wollega were collected and analyzed from the motorized water distribution by diesel generator in the village of Nedjoo district, as well as in some rural areas where the solar pumping system already existed. Solar energy options were analyzed using the RET Screen software program. Diesel generators have been evaluated against solar water pumping systems. The economic analysis is based on applying the LCC technique and all necessary procedures. The comparison between the two systems is extended to cover environmental impacts. Environmental impacts were identified and discussed because worldwide there is considerable concern about environmental issues, including greenhouse gas emissions. LCC of Diesel Generator Energy is very expensive, but PV solar energy is very expensive based on four sample locations. Solara Energy is economically better for environmental testing because the present value (PW) of DS is very high and the PW of PV water pumping systems is low, so PV water pumping systems were an option to be considered. depends on the sample location The annual return on investment from DS is higher, while the annual return on AW water pumping system is lower if it is chosen over PV. The cost of water for Diesel Energy units is very high because the maintenance and fuel consumption of the schemes is very high; if the UWC of the schemes is low, it cannot run the service. Existing schemes powered by PV solar water pumping systems cost less to sell 1 m3 of water, so PV systems benefit the community. Because the LCCs of projects are so high, schemes powered by diesel generators do not recoup the charges during the lifetime. Using DG Energy was the highest fuel consumption, but the costs from water sold are the same as PV Energy, with lower operating costs and expected costs, and therefore project gate profits from PV Energy. (average effect of PV solar gate), Output (Only PV system can help you save money.) Outcome of environmental impact assessment of PV and DG water pump systems: PV water pump system reduces GHG emissions but the DG water pump system pollutes the environment. Therefore, PV water pumping system is an economically feasible and attractive technology that is preferred over diesel water pumping system.
