Program description:
In this session we will discuss renewable energy based pump technology. We will discuss current technology and touch on developing technology, specifically with solar power. Along with the technology overview, we will dive into specific pumping applications and markets where this technology can be applied. We will discuss power blending technology that allows use of solar power and can be supplemented by grid power for 24 hour per day pump operation. Energy savings and ways to calculate that savings will be addressed. Attendees will leave with an understanding of current renewable energy pumping systems and how these can be applied in groundwater applications.
