An experimental research for smart sensor based photovoltaic supported wheat mower

The biggest problem of our time are environmental pollution and the reduction of fossil fuel resources. Most of the agricultural activities are performed by machines accordingly to development of technology in our day. The energy required by these machines are commonly provided by petroleum products. These products raise the cost of agricultural activities and cause environmental pollution. In parallel to this developments, since they do not produce emission and they are limitless, renewable energy resources attract more attention and they are more widely used day by day. In this study, a wheat mover machine was designed supported by smart sensors and taking its energy with photovoltaic transformation from the sun, biggest renewable energy resources. The performances of the panel, the smart sensor and the general system are considered and evaluated separately.
