Application of Internet Communications in Agricultural Electromechanical Drainage and Irrigation Pumping Station

Abstract

With the gradual advancement of electric energy substitution, the power consumption of agricultural electromechanical drainage and irrigation pumping station increases rapidly. It is urgent to update and transform the pumping station. Aiming at the substitution scenario of electric energy for agricultural irrigation and drainage, the technology of internet communications are combined in the application. It focuses on the design of two systems: monitoring and warning of operation conditions, and charging management of pumping stations. An electrical control cabinet integrated with power supply and control is designed by using PLC control system. This control cabinet is installed in the pump house of irrigation and drainage area. Some control terminals can be connected to it, and each terminal can be connected with a load that can work or shut down independently. These two systems store and analyse the operation conditions and electricity charge information. They also establish database and exchange data with external power supply companies and water resources management bureaus through internet communications. They are used to realize intelligent control and management. It is of great significance to establish a perfect integrated power supply control system for agricultural irrigation and drainage.
