Design and Implementation of FLC Applied to a Smart Greenhouse

Abstract

Greenhouse cultivation needs an accurate modelling and an optimised control system to ensure an adequate microclimatic condition for plants. It represents a complex task due to the high number of input factors. For this reason, an improved intermediate modelling was established under the platform of the MATLAB/Simulink environment to simulate the energy balance and the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) in order to promote a suitable microclimate through the control of the relevant actuators which have been installed in the greenhouse. In addition, the control of the system has been improved through the integration of the Internet of things for data monitoring and recording in real time. The system was designed, prototyped, and tested in Tunis province of Tunisia. Our contribution through this work represents the implementation of the FLC on a Raspberry Pi 3, and the management of the agriculture through the use of a digital innovation (IoT). All this has allowed us not only to supervise, control and reduce the energy cost of electrical load but also to improve the productivity and quality of the greenhouse cultivation.

Design and Implementation of Office Automation System Based on Internet of Things Technology

“…Belkadi and others said that Java is also a widely used programming language. Its main feature is that it is an objectoriented and cross platform language [3]. Gunderson and others said that cross platform refers to that programs can run across multiple platforms (microsoftwindows, applemacincash, Linux, etc.).…”

Energy Study of a Greenhouse and Optimisation of the Choice of Shape and Covering Material: Based on an Improved Static Model

“…Engenharia Agrícola, Jaboticabal, v.41, n.3, p.297-310, may/jun. 2021 The dynamic model (Belkadi et al, 2020;Wei et al, 2019;Atalay et al, 2017;Aviara et al, 2017;Aktas et al, 2016;Noorollahi et al, 2016) is a model that has proved to be accurate and we can assume that it has reached its limits of contribution. It is a very complex model to manipulate since the modification of one or more inputs requires very complex modifications and configurations.…”
