DESCRIPTION:The growth of the population on Earth\, the impact of climate c
 hange\, increasing industrial and communal pollution on the one hand and t
 he development of scientific and technological achievements in agriculture
  on the other hand\, determine the dynamic development of this sector. The
  growth of the world&#39;s population and\, consequently\, the increase in dem
 and for food and food products are in contradiction with the fact that due
  to climate change and its immediate consequences (drought and floods\, po
 llution of land\, water and air)\, arable agricultural land is constantly 
 decreasing. In addition to this\, demographic trends are of such a charact
 er that the number of inhabitants in urban areas is growing significantly\
 , while in rural areas the population is very small. These facts lead to a
  disproportion between the requirements and the possibilities of agricultu
 ral production. Agriculture is one of the key components of the economic d
 evelopment of the Republic of Serbia because\, in addition to economic\, i
 t also has a pronounced social and environmental significance. However\, a
 griculture in Serbia is still significantly carried out in the traditional
  way\, without the introduction of modern knowledge and agro-technical mea
 sures appropriate to developed and environmentally-conscious countries. Wh
 ere agro-technical measures are applied\, it is done in an irrational and 
 economically unsustainable way. An example is the measure of crop irrigati
 on\, which is a key link in the production chain in the conditions of clim
 ate change. Although only about 2% of usable agricultural land is irrigate
 d in Serbia\, this agro-technical measure is carried out mostly with the u
 se of fossil fuel aggregates (petrol and diesel)\, which release harmful g
 ases that go into the atmosphere and intensify the greenhouse effects\, po
 lluting the ecosystem and thus causing significant economic losses.\n\nThi
 s lecture will present concrete realizations of a hybrid power supply syst
 ems mainly based on renewable energy sources (RES)\, primarily solar and w
 ind energy\, which were used for irrigation of vegetable crops and for sma
 rt management of agricultural land in several locations around Belgrade. B
 ased on the design experience of lecturer in the field of OFF-GRID systems
  design\, the lecture will present the specifics and methods of designing 
 these power supply systems\, as well as control structures\, with emphasis
  on application in irrigation systems. All types of power conversion DC / 
 DC\, DC / AC\, AC / DC take a special place in these systems and as such l
 argely determine the behavior of the entire OFF-GRID system. The lecture w
 ill present the latest topologies of converters used in these systems\, as
  well as some exploitation problems and technical aspects of practical imp
 lementation. Finally\, directions for further development of OFF-GRID syst
 ems for the improvement of agrotechnical irrigation measures will be given
 \, as well as directions for further development of power converter topolo
 gies applied in these systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): PhD.E.E Zeljko Despotovic\,

 ith the fact that due to climate change and its immediate consequences (dr

 l land is constantly decreasing. In addition to this\, demographic trends 
 are of such a character that the number of inhabitants in urban areas is g

 These facts lead to a disproportion between the requirements and the possi
 bilities of agricultural production. Agriculture is one of the key compone
 nts of the economic development of the Republic of Serbia because\, in add
 ition to economic\, it also has a pronounced social and environmental sign
 ificance. However\, agriculture in Serbia is still significantly carried o
 ut in the traditional way\, without the introduction of modern knowledge a
 nd agro-technical measures appropriate to developed and environmentally-co
 nscious countries. Where agro-technical measures are applied\, it is done 
 in an irrational and economically unsustainable way. An example is the mea
 sure of crop irrigation\, which is a key link in the production chain in t

 ural land is irrigated in Serbia\, this agro-technical measure is carried 
 out mostly with the use of fossil fuel aggregates (petrol and diesel)\, wh

 eenhouse effects\, polluting the ecosystem and thus causing significant ec

 a hybrid power supply systems mainly based on renewable energy sources (RE
 S)\, primarily solar and wind energy\, which were used for irrigation of v
 egetable crops and for smart management of agricultural land in several lo
 cations around Belgrade. Based on the design experience of lecturer in the
