Abstract: The stand-alone irrigation system had been designed using drip irrigation (DI) method and powered by hybrid renewable energy systems (wind turbine and photovoltaics). The system was implemented on the area of a strawberry plantation in Garut, Indonesia. The drip irrigation system was designed using a pumping system where water flow rate to the plant was controlled around 1.5 l/day with operating planting time of 1.58 hours/day. Based on the calculation of irrigation piping system, pressure in the system must be maintained at the set point 1.2 bars to produce the desired flow rate. Proportional Controller (Kp) was used for controlling the opening of control valve. Based on the response of the controller, the system could reach the set point at 24.95 second, with a maximum overshoot of only 0.0231 bars and has no steady state error. Energy for pumping irrigation system was supplied by a combination of photovoltaics (PV) and wind turbine (WT). Based on the irrigation water demand per day, the total energy demand for this irrigation pumping system was 1743 Wh. The hybrid renewable system was designed by a combination of ten PV cells and a single wind turbine. The energy generated by PV and WT was 8705 Wh/day, therefore the power system was feasible to be implemented because it was still 3.3 times larger than the requirement.
