      1. INTRODUCTION

        System can be divided into four section .1) Dual solar tracking for optimum power,2) solar drip irrigation for water saver 3) animals and Birds polling section for crop saver 4) farmer identification section

        1. Dual axis solar tracking for optimum power: – Solar is a non conventional source of energy, considering this to developed solar panels so that we can fulfill our electricity

          Need. But due to revolution of the earth, solar source i.e. sun does not face the panel continuously hence less electricity is produced. The energy panel should face the SUN till it is Present in a day. Renewable energy solutions are becoming increasingly popular. Photovoltaic (solar) systems are but one example.

          Maximizing power output from a solar system is Desirable to increase efficiency. In order to maximize power output from

          The solar panels, one needs to keep the panels aligned with the

          Sun. As such, a means of tracking the sun is required.

          This is a far more cost effective solution than purchasing additional

        2. Solar drip irrigation This system allows farmers to apply the right amount of water at the right time. This system can automatically irrigate the fields according to the pre-defined conditions. It allocates water according to the crop water requirement and availability of solar radiation. The results revealed that, system would be a best option for medium size agriculture field. And this automated system water wastage of the tested field could be reduced by 50% of normal irrigation wastage this intelligent system can be improved by adding temperature and total dissolve solid sensors. As well as system can be program using p89v51rdxx 40 pin microcontroller and it will reduce the power consumption. Apart from that, the system can be developed to control remotely by using internet and GSM technology and field condition can access by the farmer from anywhere in the world

        3. Animals and Birds polling section:

          using an ultrasonic sensor as its base to detect movement or moving objects in places. It is design to be a low cost ultrasonic motion detector. The transmitter sensor use to generate signal in that area. When the signal is block by moving or movement the receiver will gets the signal and amplifies the signal using transistor. The transistor is use as an amplifier to the receiver circuit. The Led and buzzer (firing) in the circuit use to see if there is movement detect of Birds and wild animals by the sensor. The relay use to trigger another circuit when there is movement detects. The signal generate by the sensor is about ±40khz. This is a fully hardware design system plus it is built to be a portable ultrasonic motion detect

        4. Farmer identification section: Todays farmer life is very busy of their work in field. And they suffer from stolen of crop by being human and animals. Small height crop is varying easily damage, and overall production of farmer degrading. In this section farmer identification can be done by using RF module.

      2. LITERATURE SURVEY

        In completing this paper, some literature reviews have been done on several resources. The related works has been mentioned [1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6]. The paper [1] introduces a system design for RFID reader. The architecture used in this paper implements various kinds of RFID standards by changing the soft of Nios-II core in FPGA. The paper [2] proposes an UFH RFID reader based on the ISO/IEC 18000-6B standard. It describes the hardware and software design of RFID reader. The paper [3] explains about microcontroller based RFID .It uses real time clock capability with which attendance can be taken more accurately since the time of attendance will be recorded. In Paper [4], it has implemented farmer field security systems which contains farmer identification and deactivate firing system using passive RFID. A centralized system is being used for controlling and transactions. The farmer identification works in real time that when the user taps the card in contact with the reader, the firing section of robot will be deactivated GSM , RFID technology is utilized to provide solution for secure access of a space while keeping record of the farmer. Some systems use radio waves to communicate, which is also how Wi-Fi and cell phone signals operate. Farmer identification section doesnt require all the features of a Wi-Fi network because Farmer identification sections are Coded messages. The most prominent radio networks in Farmer identification section may be ZigBee and Z-Wave or RF module. Remote control provides the convenience of controlling firing section of systems and there are several different "methods" of controlling devices remotely

      3. DESIGN

  1. Solar tracking for optimum power:

    The block diagram below shows system architecture it consist of a LDR sensor senses max solar power which is being given to the Microcontroller(P89V51RD) through the ADC which digitizes the LDR output. Controller then takes

    the decision according to then algorithm and tilts the panel towards the direction of the max energy given by LDR with the help of DC Motor

    Fig. No-1:-Solar tracking system

    The DC Motor is used to rotate Mechanical mechanism. The LDR to sense the max solar power. And power supply continuously is getting to chargeable battery and dc battery willbe charge and it is providing continuously power to various section of propose designed system

  2. Solar drip irrigation The best time of day to irrigate is the subject of some debate. One group suggests that early morning is the best time,

while another group claims that afternoon is the best. Very few people consider night irrigation to be a viable alternative due to concerns of increased disease pressure. In all practicality, disease is not increased except when lawns are routinely over-irrigated (The Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service).

According to the Stuart et al. (Stuart et al., 2004), they have concluded that, irrigation timing had a significant effect on plant growth, container temperature and water use efficiency.

Considering above facts on irrigation time there is a necessity to operate the irrigation system in night time as well and reduce the evaporation

main objective of this study is to develop a solar powered automated irrigation system for efficient water allocation for fields based on crop water requirement using renewable energy.

All the equipment of the solar power automatic irrigation system is controlled by a control unit which contains electrical timers, control relays, a charge controller and an inverter. Plate 4 shows the control unit. The timers and control relays control the period for the operation of the pumping and irrigation

system. The charge controller controls the charging of the batteries by the SOLAR panels. The inverter converts the direct current from the rechargeable batteries into alternate current for the operation of pumps.

A rain detector is connected to the control unit of the system for detecting rainfall. If rain is detected within three hours before a scheduled irrigation, the irrigation function of the system will be skipped on that day.

  1. Animals and Birds polling section:

    It consists of a set of ultrasonic receiver and transmitter which operate at the same frequency. When something moves in the area covered by the circuit, the circuits fine balance is disturbed and the alarm is triggered and firing section will be activated. The circuit is very sensitive and can be adjusted to reset itself automatically or to stay triggered till it is reset manually after an alarm the ultrasonic motion detector is Animals and Birds polling section is using an ultrasonic sensor as its base to detect movement or moving objects in small

    places.

    Effects of ULTRA SONIC section

    • Multiple uses of ULTRA SOUND technology:

    Some insect species can produce or perceive sound in ultrasonic frequencies and are affected by high- frequency sound. That is not to say that it can effectively repel them or control them.

    There has been little true scientific research to determine if ultrasonic sound generators could produce effective insect control results. You may find that some insects seem to respond to ultrasound while others are oblivious to it.

    It is design to be a low cost ultrasonic motion detector. The transmitter sensor use to generate signal in that area. When the signal is block by moving or movement the receiver will gets the signal and amplifies the signal using amplifier. it is use as an amplifier to the receiver circuit. The Led and buzzer or firing section is activated if there is movement detect by the sensor. The relay use to trigger firing section circuit when there is movement detects. The signal generate by the sensor is about ±40khz. This is a fully hardware design project plus it is built to be a portable ultrasonic motion detector.

  2. Farmer identification section: This section aimed to develop a wireless system to detect and allow only the authorized farmer in their field. The system is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and consists of a RFID tag .it sends coded information to the Farmer identification section receives, decodes and checks the information available in its Database and Manchester code was used to send that information. The system performed as desired with a 100m diameter antenna attached to the transponder. It is built by using the Popular 8051 family Microcontroller. It gets the tag ID and if the tag ID is stored in its memory then the microcontroller will allow the farmer inside the field.

Shows the block diagram of the RF Tag. The system Comprises Microchip micro controller (U2), and RF Transmitter Module (U3). The micro controller chip is programmed to read BCD FARMER code and send data serially via RF Transmitter Module.

        LDR (Light Dependent Resistor):

        LDRs or Light Dependent Resistors are very useful especially in light/dark sensor circuits. Normally the resistance of an LDR is very high, sometimes as high as 1000 000 ohms, but when they are illuminated with light resistance drops dramatically.

        A photo resistor or light dependent resistor or cadmium sulfide (CdS) cell is a resistor whose resistance decreases with increasing incident light intensity. It can also be referenced as a photoconductor.

This intelligent system can be improved by adding temperature and total dissolve solid sensors. As well as system can be developed by using 40 pin 8051 microcontroller and it will reduce the total power consumption and initial cost. Apart from that, the system can be developed to control remotely by using internet and GSM technology and field condition can be accessed by the farmer from anywhere in the world. Further studies should be undertaken to identify each crop water requirement and application of Solar Powered Automated Irrigation System according to the moisture retention capacity of the Field and environmental conditions. Since this is initial experimental stage, the performance evaluation criteria of the system should be thoroughly investigated. When consider the cost of the solar powered AIS and operational cost, the initial establishment and fabrication costs are considerable. But it is more cost effective in long run. The system contains low cost components easily available which cuts down the overall system cost. The ease of deployment is due to wireless mode of communication. The system integration is simple and is also scalable and

extensible. RF technology capable solution has proved to be controlled remotely, provide security FARMER from wild animals and Birds in field and is cost-effective as compared to the previously existing systems
