Presentation coverage 1. General scenario 2. Convergence: Irrigation vis a vis Solar energy 3. Initiatives in Rajasthan 4. Implementation 5. Technology & Achievements

Solar insolation in India

1. 5 trillion kWh/ year theoretical potential. Most of the country receives more than 4kWh/m2 /day 2. In most parts of India, clear sunny weather is experienced 250 to 300 days a year.

Rajasthan
1. Best solar radiation in India; Amongst the best in the world 2. Solar radiation 6-7 kWh/sq. meter 3. More than 325 sunny days in a year (amongst the best in India)

WHY SOLAR ENERGY

1. Abundantly available at doorstep 2. free of cost 3. Clean energy, pollution free 4. Eco-friendly, Harmonious with nature 5. Ideal for remote areas, where electricity is not available, availability is capital intensive and diesel is costly/ difficult to get 6. Safe to handle. Devices can be used by layperson without risk 7. Suitable for day time irrigation 8. Uninterrupted supply for 6-8 hours 9. Strong correlation with plant water demand

Rajasthan: Water & Energy the most crucial resources (1)

Renewable Energy in Agriculture sector: the dire need

Irrigation Water
1. Area 10.5% - water resource only 1% 2. One third of the cultivated area under irrigation 3. About 70% area is irrigated by wells & tube wells (ground water) and 27 % by canals 4. Irrigation efficiency (sandy soils) low: 2535% 5. Rainfall: Erratic, uneven distribution and low (Av. 575 mm) 6. Ground water table going down rapidly and quality of water deteriorating

Conventional Energy
Present generation capacity 9646 MW Present Agriculture consumption 38% Long queue for connections Electricity losses during transmission and distribution extremely high - 30 to 45%

Rajasthan: Water & Energy the most crucial resources (2)

RE in Agriculture sector: the dire need
Irrigation Water Water demand of Agriculture sector: >85% Dependency on ground water Canal Irrigation : dependency on neighbouring states Net Irrigated area 6.4 MH (Micro 1.1 MH) NW part of state: Adoption of sprinklervery high Trend of drip adoption: accelerated Focus is to increase the irrigation efficiency at farms Interrupted supply for irrigation is also a major issue Availability mostly in rotation: Night time irrigation is a problem for farmer Heavy subsidy by the state for agriculture supply A long queue for new connections Un-interrupted supply and access to remote areas is the focus

Energy for Agriculture sector Farmers live in remote areas : Electricity access is a challenge

Rajasthan: Water & Energy the most crucial resources

Solution
Irrigation Water
Efficient techniques of irrigation - drip, mini sprinkler, sprinkler Rajasthan is the leading state in adoption of sprinkler technique Drip irrigation is the most efficient technique and is on top priority Solar programme tied up with drip technology Use of waste & saline water

Energy for Agriculture sector

Natures free gift and environmental friendly solar energy can access the remotest places No issue of transmission losses and transmission costs Uninterrupted supply during the day time Exploitation of strong co-relation of water requirement of crop and availability of sun light Potential to use solar energy for waste water / recycled water in agriculture sector

Thats why the state government has made budget announcement to promote both the techniques side by side.

1.Solar pump programme undertaken during 2008-09 & 2010-11 implemented and running successfully (Solar Pumps of 3000 Wp already running in tubewells at farmer fields of Jaipur, Jhunjhunu, Sikar, and Sawaimadhopur) 2.successfully running in low depth wells/ tube wells, and diggies - Bore well depth - 170 to 270 ft. 3.Pump discharge 5,400 to 10,000 ltr/ hr 4.Auto-tracker has increased the efficiency 5.All beneficiaries using water saving devices Shri Ganganagar 2010-11 6.Farmers are satisfied Demand from all districts, for all sources of water, and for high Wp
36

Conclusions
Water access to un-electrified/ remote areas Substitute up to 5-7.5 HP electric connections Judicious use of irrigation water through micro irrigation, and integration with Renewable Energy Sources. Solar pump is additional award for farmers adopting Hi-Tech cultivation and WHS with drip Wide replication will bring costs down within the reach of farmers, with gradual withdrawal of subsidy Demand from farmers to extend project in whole state
