Diseño de un sistema de riego híbrido y automatizado, con bombeo sumergible fotovoltaico y control remoto vía WI-FI, para el aprovechamiento del uso del agua en las áreas verdes de una urbanización

Abstract

This research and development project consists of the design of a hybrid and automated irrigation system that integrates a submersible pumping system powered by photovoltaic solar energy and remote Wi-Fi control, with the objective of optimizing water use in the green areas of a residential urbanization. The study is carried out in response to the lack of an efficient system for water collection, storage, and distribution, as well as the total dependence on the electrical grid for irrigation operation. The methodology applied is quantitative and applied in nature, structured in several stages that include site data collection, hydraulic system analysis, pump and photovoltaic generator sizing, and the design of the automated irrigation system. For this purpose, the required flow rate, total dynamic head, friction losses, and pump power were calculated, along with the energy simulation of the photovoltaic array considering the available solar radiation. The hydraulic and electrical system design was developed using specialized tools such as AutoCAD, CADeSimu, PVsyst, and the Hydrawise platform for irrigation automation. As a result, an integrated system capable of efficiently and sustainably supplying the green areas is obtained, reducing conventional electrical energy consumption and improving irrigation control through automation. This project contributes to water and energy efficiency by optimizing available resources and ensuring reliable, continuous, and environmentally sustainable operation of the irrigation system in the urbanization.
