Effect of Inaccurate Measurements on Energy Consumption in Greenhouse Horticulture
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of inaccurate sensors, used in practice in greenhouse climate control, on the energy consumption of greenhouse horticultural production is investigated. It is shown that the inaccuracy of sensors, caused for instance by improper maintenance, leads to a higher energy use. Copyright © 2008 IFAC

Effect of gibberellic acid on some fluorescence and chlorophyll characteristics of Cyclamen persicum Mill. seedlings under different light regimes
The use of growth regulators and light quality change are two methods to improve plant performance. Therefore, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design. Factors included three light modes (greenhouse light (control) and LED combination light of white: red: blue as 70: 10: 20 and 40: 40: 20 ratios) and gibberellic acid in four concentrations (0, 20, 40 and 60 mg/l)....
متن کاملComparison of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission footprint caused by agricultural products in greenhouses and open field in Iran
Decisions can be taken to increase energy efficiency and to mitigate the emissions to the environment by examining the energy audit and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions footprint of crop production in different ways and in different regions, with comparable principles. In this study, energy consumption and energy indices of tomatoes production in four regions of Iran including East Azerbaijan...
متن کاملEnergy Saving: from Engineering to Crop Management
In greenhouse horticulture, energy costs form an increasingly larger part of the total production costs. Energy is primarily used for temperature control, reduction of air humidity, increase of light intensity and CO2 supply. Use of fossil energy can be reduced by limiting the energy demand of the system and decreasing energy losses, by intelligent climate control, by increasing the energy effi...
متن کاملOptimizing Energy Consumption Efficiency for Greenhouse Cucumber Production Using The Data Envelopment Analysis Technique in Lorestan Province of Iran
This paper applied a non-parametric (Data Envelopment Analysis) method to analyze the efficiency of farmers, discriminate efficient farmers from inefficient ones and to identify wasteful uses of energy in order to optimize the energy inputs for greenhouse cucumber production in Lorestan province of Iran. Data were collected from 27 cucumber producers by using a face-to-face questionnaire.DEA cr...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Overflow Effects from Heat Sector of Iran on Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Application of Space Durbin Model
Issues related to environment are one of the most important issues that confront communities in recent decades. Resource scarcity and the necessity of development for Iran and other similar countries requires us to deal with carbon dioxide emissions as a manifestation of environmental crisis. In this study, we assess the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions as a dependent variable wi...
