The paper is synthesizing some research results on the energetic passive greenhouses, that are independent of any conventional infrastructure. These greenhouses constitute a fundamental sustainable agricultural resource and offer us an opportunity for a global scale ecological reconstruction. We present the passive greenhouse structure, which has as main heating -cooling device a heat pump and two complementary energy sources: a dc wind generator and a matrix of orientable amorph silicon photovoltaic panels. We also present a simplified mathematical model. The control of this system is demanding a full compatibility with the wireless web technologies as well as a strong prediction capability, able to cope with the high inertia of the heat pump. In the end we present the main elements of an fuzzy-interpolative expert system that is able to control this plant using mainly energetic passive control actions: greenhouse effect, shading, and ventilation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
