In support of the environment and renewable energy, the first training course organized by the Al-Mustaqbal Center for Energy Research, in collaboration with the College of Engineering and Engineering Technologies, was held on Sunday, 22/9/2024. The course began with a lecture presented by Dr. Azhar Mohsen Abdul, Dean of the College of Engineering and Engineering Technologies, in which he discussed the basic principles of designing and operating solar-powered water pumping systems. The lecture covered several detailed steps, including: Determining the required daily water quantity. Calculating the total elevation required for water pumping. Studying and evaluating solar radiation data. Calculating the pumping rate based on solar peak hours. Selecting the appropriate pump according to the system's requirements. Choosing a motor that matches the pump's speed and torque characteristics. Identifying the optimal system for operating the pump. Selecting the essential components for the solar system. Choosing the most suitable solar modules for the system. A group of employees from the Babil Agriculture Department and Agricultural Extension Directorates in the province participated in the course. The participants praised the course, highlighting its importance in enhancing their technical and practical skills. They also emphasized the necessity of adopting modern solar-powered irrigation systems in Babil due to their positive effects in reducing pollution and addressing water scarcity.
