Engineering Degree Program in China - Agricultural Electrification

1. Introduction

Agricultural Electrification refers to a wide range of application of electric energy in the field of agricultural production and rural life. It is the important technical basis of mechanization and automation of agricultural production, including the production, transmission, distribution and utilization of agricultural power, the development of agricultural technology and equipment with power as the power, the promotion of household electronics and electrical equipment in rural areas, etc. In some countries, mainly refers to the use of electricity in rural sideline, aquaculture, gardening department and life.

Agricultural electrification, also called rural electrification, refers to in rural areas widely establishing power plant network, sending electricity to rural areas, to improve the agricultural production and improve the lives of farmers, such as electric tractor cultivated land, power harvesters, power pumping irrigation machine, electric scissors for shearing and electric milking machine milking and so on, are inseparable from the power.

2. Benefits of Agricultural Electrification

1) Agricultural production has large labor intensity and occupation of labor, labor conditions are poor, so the use of power can effectively improve the situation.

2) Motor structure is firm, reliable, easy to use and easy to operate.

3) The flexibility and convenience of the power distribution is very suitable for the vast agricultural region, the load dispersion and so on.

4) Power stations can make use of poor quality fuel to produce high quality electric energy, which is beneficial to the comprehensive utilization of local energy sources.

5) Electrical energy can be very convenient and reversible with other forms of energy.

6) Electrostatic field, alternating electric field, magnetic field, DC current, power, high frequency and ultra high frequency current and infrared, ultraviolet, roentgen and ionizing radiation can have a direct effect on the organism of agriculture and agricultural products.

3. Evaluation Index
