ABSTRACT

In these days, many of greenhouse environments are based on electric devices and ICT technologies. The model suggested in the paper the detailed design of a greenhouse control system adaptability with PID (Proportional Integral and Derivative) controller. Compared with a previous greenhouse control system (GCS), the proposed system is focused on the detailed design of greenhouse control process to minimize energy costs for crop growth in a greenhouse. In the suggested system, there are two important processes namely, Greenhouse Control Process (GCP) and Crop Growth Process (CGP). The two process data, which are crop status information and climate set-point information, are stored in an information storage database. The PID controller works inside the GCP and the environment control decision works inside the CGP. According to the service decision algorithm of it, the controller will work properly in a greenhouse. Using the suggested system with the different combinations such as P, PI, PD and PID, a user can easily simulate energy costs for a greenhouse system and efficiently design the best optimized controller in the greenhouse system. Therefore, the suggested system can provide a feasible solution to reduce or minimize energy cost in the greenhouse and help developments of various applications related with greenhouse environments.
