Modeling and Analysis of Thermal Dynamics of Polyhouses for Precision Agriculture
摘要
Polyhouses, designed specifically for crop cultivation, serve as complex thermodynamic systems where indoor temperature and humidity play pivotal roles in crop productivity. Recognized as multivariable input-output systems (MIMO), this study focuses on unveiling a physically validated polyhouse model capable of operating effectively under diverse seasonal conditions. The primary objective is to refine the accuracy of internal temperature modeling within polyhouse structures. Utilizing mass-energy equations, the dynamics of the polyhouse are simulated, accounting for components that either add or remove energy from the system. Specifically, we examine a forced ventilation polyhouse equipped with cooling pads and water circulation mechanisms aimed at temperature reduction. The temperature of the circulating water, serving as a crucial component, significantly influences the overall simulated dynamics of the polyhouse. By integrating these elements into our model, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of polyhouse dynamics, facilitating improved management practices for enhanced crop yields and sustainability.
