Automated Greenhouse Vertical Farming With Wind and Solar Hybrid Power System

Greenhouse is a structure with walls and roof made chiefly of transparent materials, in which plants requiring controlled climatic conditions are grown. Also, this requires human care and assistance to be able to perform some significant greenhouse processes such as irrigation and ventilation, for continuous operation. In order to achieve such goal to the fullest and minimize manpower support and intervention, it is best to make the greenhouse fully automated. It is provided with an integrated temperature control system for its ventilation to maintain the desired temperature needed by the plant. The watering system has been constructed with submersible pump that pumps water from the water reservoir up to the water piping system and the water flows down to the different vertical plant mount tubings that contain the different plants. Finally, the water returns to the reservoir it came from and it is being conserved. The irrigation system is also provided by a timer for the necessary watering requirement. The greenhouse has an off-grid power system, which is solar, and wind powered, and can stand alone. Finally, it uses vertical farming technology that increases plant production several time for a given land area as compared to the conventional. With the developed system, this improves the quality of crops.
