The Passive Greenhouses

Seven Passive Greenhouse Synergies

“…We coined the term PG for the first time in 2004 [4]. We continued to develop this subject by some other papers and book chapters and in 2010 a more comprehensive chapter issued at an open publishing house [5].…”

“…2) [12] Our own choice continues to be the structural ISO (input-state-output) deterministic model, like the one in Fig. 3, able to clearly and distinctly estimate the evolution of the state and output variables (inside temperature, ventilation, air and soil humidity, CO 2 concentration, etc.…”

“…b) The Expert Control [5] under its different versions, including the fuzzy-expert control, which is suboptimal, yet extremely robust, adaptive and flexible. The expert systems are able to embed heuristic solutions and can cope with the specific knowledge and specifications of each particular user…”

“…The previous papers containing the argumentation that supports the concept of the PG Agricultural System are recalled in [5] and detailed in its bibliographic references. In the following sections, we will provide a review of this matter.…”

On a promising sustainable energy system and its control - the passive greenhouse

“…Initiated almost twenty years ago by Prof. Gilles Enéa and Jean Duplaix, Jean-François Balmat and their colleagues, this project offers a valuable amount of experimental data, produced by twenty sensors, for the most important environmental and technical parameters inside and outside the experimental greenhouse. Our own team was collaborating with the Toulon one since 2004, when we begun our work on passive greenhouses [4]. The platform offered by the Toulon experimental greenhouse data and its Internet compliant control technology supported researches dedicated to the identification either by structural or by synthetic modeling [5,6,7,8,9] and the intelligent control of the greenhouse [10,11].…”
