Solar Energy Potential of Serbia and Application of Sun Energy in Agriculture

Abstract

On the basis of meteorological data, as well as on the performed additional measurements, in the paper is estimated the solar energy potential of Serbia. This paper represents a part of author’s activities in the course of work on the scientific research project: Atlas of the energy potential of Sun and wind in Serbia. Serbia has economic and ecological problems which are caused by the import of energy (oil, gas) which becomes more and more expensive and also pollutes air, water and soil. Serbia is well irradiated by Sun and because of that Serbia is bound to meet their energy needs in future by using solar energy more. In this paper is also analyzed the application of Sun energy in various fields of agriculture.

Na osnovu meteoroloških podataka, kao i izvršenih dopunskih mnogobrojnih merenja, u radu je procenjen energetski potencijal Sunca u Srbiji. Rad je deo aktivnosti autora tokom izrade naučno-istraživačkog projekta Atlas energetskog potencijala Sunca i vetra u Srbiji. Već duži niz godina Srbija ima ekonomske i ekološke probleme zbog uvoza energije (nafta, gas), koja je sve skuplja i ugrožava vazduh, vodu i zemljište. Rezerve uglja u Srbiji, koji je prilično lošeg kvaliteta, procenjene su na još 50-ak godina. U radu je pokazano da je Srbija dobro osunčana zemlja i moraće svoje energetske potrebe u budućnosti sve više da zadovoljava Sunčevom energijom. Takođe, u radu je analizirana i primena energije Sunca u različitim oblastima poljoprivrede.
