Efficient and Intelligent Decision Support System for Smart Irrigation
Abstract
The main aim of present analysis is to develop a novel efficient and intelligent irrigation system (EIIS). The proposed irrigation system configured using five components arranged in a series configuration along with the internal cold standby redundancy on sensor unit. The failure and repair rates are exponentially distributed. By using the Markovian birth-death process differential difference equations of the model are developed to derive the availability expressions and estimation of parameters. The availability of the system is optimized by employing Grey-Wolf optimization (GWO) and Dragon Fly algorithm (DA) for efficiency and performance evaluation. The derived results are helpful for the system designers.
