6. Conclusion<br />

An optimization model for working time <strong>of</strong> pump has presented in this research. Based on this<br />

optimization model, the working time has been diminished to 18 hours that previously was 24<br />

hours. Also the operational intervals located in low cost tariffs periods. The electricity costs for 6<br />

months cultivation period in previous schedule was 2222 $. The mentioned operation time<br />

optimization has reduced the electricity costs to 1755 $ during same period. Obviously the<br />

reduction in costs will more considerable in long term prospective, and also for larger pumping<br />

systems it would be more beneficial.<br />

At the second stage the PRV replaced by a turbine. The turbine produces the electricity <strong>of</strong> 98<br />

kilo watt per hour that causes that pump do not need to get electricity from electricity network.<br />
