Integrating mechanical control systems and nanotechnology for enhanced energy efficiency in renewable-poured smart greenhouses

Abstract

With increasing global challenges of climate change and water shortage, the need for new and advanced agricultural technologies beyond the conventional approaches is crucial. This project will create an "energy-smart greenhouse" that combines the latest nanotechnology and protected cultivation to establish the optimal growing environment with minimal energy requirements. The article deals with solar power control and optimization in greenhouses, which is an increasing topic among scholars. An east-west oriented small-scale solar greenhouse system is set up in Baghdad (33.3 o N, 34.4 o E). The solar thermal is placed on the roof of the green house where it is closely monitored. The paper examines how solar power can be intelligently integrated into greenhouse processes with reference being made to the increase in efficiency of energy. There have been attempts to increase climate control in the greenhouse to ensure that there are appropriate temperatures that would support the growth of plants. The findings reveal the possibility of solar energy to help in the use of sustainable agricultural methods through improved performance of green houses.
