Cooker cucumber farming combined with solar power production

The group of experts from the Yen Dai coastal research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a year’s research to find out the impact of the photovoltaic battery farm on cucumber farming. The study focused on how the shade affects the environment and the development of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus). The results from this combination method are very promising. According to researchers, photovoltaic batteries help reduce light intensity by 80.5% of light intensity and 1.2 degrees Celsius temperature. Through that, the battery system creates a more favorable condition for sea cucumbers to grow.

Sea cucumber is a sea animal with a surname with Sao Bien and sea urchins. They possess long -lived body and live on the seabed. As a high value material in cuisine and medicine, sea cucumbers face many challenges in aquaculture. High water temperature can lead to mass death, pushing them into the summer sleep state, slowing down the growth rate. The new method of using photovoltaic batteries provides shade that is beneficial for the development of sea cucumber, according to research published in Aquaculture Reports magazine.

The group of scientists studied the photovoltaic battery at a 200 MW power station in the Yellow River Delta east of China. This European region has a high percentage of ponds and lakes installed with photovoltaic panels, and the height above the water has a seasonal change but at least 1.5 meters. The researchers compare 6 ponds, 3 of them installed the photovoltaic battery that provides a shade part and the remaining 3 ponds are not installed. They studied 6 ponds (each of 6.7 hectares wide and 1.5 m deep) from March 2023 to February 2024. The authors of the article monitor water temperature, light intensity and many other key parameters. The research results show that the photovoltaic battery significantly reduces the light intensity (80.5%) and the water temperature (1.2 degrees C) in the pond area covered with non -cover ponds.

Combining the photovoltaic battery on the cucumber pond can help solve a number of problems in aquaculture. The shade effect of the battery will reduce the water temperature in the pond, capable of preventing sea cucumber dead due to high temperatures in the summer, the cool shade can shorten the summer sleep time of about 12 days in fish The mature and one day in an adult individual. Due to spending less summer sleep, sea cucumbers have more time to develop. Preliminary data shows the potential to increase the production of sea cucumbers in the covered ponds. According to farmers’ records, the ginseng production in the pond covered with 900 kg/10,000 m2, much higher than the non -cover pond (750 kg/10,000 m2).

Although the integrated photoelectric battery does not negatively affect the quality of water, fleeting components or digestive activity of sea cucumber, the research team pays attention to the seasonal increase of armor and planklife reduction. . They emphasize that it is necessary to keep monitoring continuously to prevent the possibility of an imbalance of the ecosystem.
