Successfully Delivered the World's First Fully Independent Energy Agricultural Irrigation Project in Desert High-Temperature Terrain

LINDEMANN-REGNER, in conjunction with Iktifaa Energy, jointly announced the successful delivery of the world’s first fully independent energy agricultural irrigation project suitable for desert high-temperature terrain. This project innovatively adopts a microgrid energy supply system, realizing the safe and efficient operation of agricultural irrigation in the extreme desert environment of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and providing a breakthrough model for agricultural energy supply in arid and high-temperature regions around the world.

Extreme Environment Sets Barriers, Traditional Solutions Face Bottlenecks

The location of this project is in the desert area around Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, facing extremely harsh operational challenges. The project needs to provide stable energy support for water pumps with a depth of 250 meters, requiring continuous output of more than 100 kilowatts of power per day, while the local extreme ambient temperature can reach up to 55℃.

The traditional diesel generator scheme has exposed many drawbacks in this scenario: low energy conversion efficiency, inability to meet the continuous and stable operation needs of water pumps, and high risk of equipment failure, making it difficult to ensure the reliable supply of the irrigation system. How to build an efficient and stable energy supply system in the high-temperature and arid desert environment has become a core bottleneck restricting the development of local agricultural irrigation.

Joint Innovation Breaks the Dilemma, Microgrid Scheme Achieves Results

To address this industry challenge, LINDEMANN-REGNER and Iktifaa Energy have joined hands to create a high-resilience microgrid solution. The scheme takes „solar photovoltaic + diesel backup“ as the core energy structure, integrating all equipment into a container with efficient thermal insulation performance, fundamentally reducing the impact of extreme high temperatures on equipment operation.

To further enhance thermal management capabilities, the system is equipped with an active liquid cooling device, combined with an intelligent control system and a remote monitoring platform, realizing real-time regulation and precise control of energy supply, ensuring continuous and stable operation under extreme conditions. Currently, the project has completed the full-process implementation work, including key links such as system installation, thermal management system construction, pump operation cycle parameter optimization, full-load performance testing, and monitoring system integration. All indicators have met the preset standards and been successfully delivered for use.

Impressive Multi-Dimensional Results, Ensuring Irrigation in Extreme Environments

The successful implementation of this microgrid solution has completely solved the problem of energy supply for agricultural irrigation in desert high-temperature environments, achieving multiple core results: first, providing stable power supply of more than 100 kilowatts for water pumps to ensure the continuous development of irrigation operations; second, significantly reducing diesel consumption through the efficient use of photovoltaic energy, realizing the optimization and upgrading of the energy structure; third, relying on a sound thermal management and intelligent control system to ensure high reliability of the system in the desert environment, completely breaking away from the dependence on the traditional inefficient energy supply model.

Supported by Core Technologies, Forging Adaptability to Extreme Environments

The success of the project is inseparable from the support of breakthroughs in a number of key technologies, demonstrating LINDEMANN-REGNER’s profound technical accumulation in the field of energy solutions for extreme environments. First, it adopts a combined structure of large-capacity photovoltaic modules and energy storage systems (PV+BESS) to maximize the use of renewable energy and improve energy self-sufficiency. Second, it innovatively applies an insulated container design with active liquid cooling, which can effectively isolate external high temperatures and quickly dissipate heat generated by equipment operation, ensuring the normal operation of equipment at an extreme temperature of 55℃. Third, it is equipped with a fault-tolerant control system and a remote monitoring platform, which can real-time monitor the operating status of equipment, early warn potential faults, and realize efficient operation and maintenance in unattended scenarios.

Quantitative Data Confirm, Highlighting Performance Advantages

A series of quantifiable core performance indicators fully confirm the excellent performance of the solution: the water pump achieves 100% continuous energy supply, completely eliminating the risk of irrigation interruption; it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 30 tons per year, contributing to the development of green agriculture; energy utilization efficiency is increased by 12%, significantly reducing operating costs; the overall availability of the irrigation system is as high as 99.5%, providing a solid guarantee for local agricultural production.

Mr. Jiang, Project Manager of LINDEMANN-REGNER, said: „The successful delivery of the world’s first fully independent energy agricultural irrigation project in desert high-temperature terrain not only verifies our technical strength in the field of energy solutions for extreme environments but also provides replicable and promotable practical experience for the sustainable development of agriculture in arid and high-temperature regions around the world. In the future, we will continue to focus on the integration and innovation of new energy and extreme environment technologies, providing efficient and reliable energy solutions for more industries.“
