Protótipo de sistemas de irrigação a pivô central por aspersão para controle da velocidade das torres móveis

Abstract

The optimization of the use of water resources in the generation of food has leveraged the production processes. Several areas of engineering are involved in this process of optimizing resources for food production, from hydraulic engineering to the management and correct sizing of the irrigation system, soil engineering to assess the needs of the type of soil where food will be produced, engineering mechanics for the development and improvement of equipment, as well as electrical and automation engineering to provide this system with elements and controllers that allow a more rational use of these resources. This work aimed to develop an automation system for irrigation center pivots, in order to optimize its use in the process of moving the mobile components of the system. For this purpose, studies were carried out on the processes involved in central pivot irrigation systems, hydraulic systems, automation systems, and resource optimization, making it possible to move linearly.
