Abstract :
In this paper we analyze optimal integration of wind and water energy in a pumping station for irrigation. The pumping station is also sized to fit watering needs for traditional crops and for thistle crop (Cyanara Cardunculus) with energetic aims. This study has been done in the area of "Alcala de Gurrea" (Zaragoza), and data acquisition process were carried out over one year.
