A Novel Solution for Shaping Electricity Demand via Controlling Water Consumption of Agricultural Customers

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel solution for shaping electricity demand and decreasing it in peak hours via controlling electro-pumps which are used for irrigation purposes. It will be shown that in the regions where pilot projects are implemented, electricity demand is decreased dramatically. However a number of electro-pumps and whole electricity consumptions have is increased normally. Furthermore water usage efficiency is increased, simultaneously.
