内容説明

All aspects of electrical energy use in agricultural production are addressed in this book, from safe wiring systems to the utilization of electronic controls that enhance agricultural productivity. Practical methods of applying electricity to optimize farm profits are discussed in light of benefits to both the end user and his electric utilities. Energy use factors are, in general, based upon empirical data with suggested modifiers for their widespread application. Primarily, the book focuses on the most efficient management of electricity use in agriculture, so that both the agricultural end user (whether associated with food production, product preservation and storage, or product utilization), and the supplier of electricity can share in all significant benefits inherent in electricity use. Unique among the issues addressed, are the many important considerations and interacting relationships between electrical energy use (kWh) and electrical demands (kW). Ways in which electricity use on farms can be properly analysed are projected through the use of tabulated and graphically presented data.
