The aim of the project was the development of a decision support system that will be able to take control of greenhouse climate management for 24 hours during winter period. Biophysical simulator developed with the connection of two simulators one responsible for the greenhouse climate and a biological simulator responsible for tomato crop development and production. The development of the climate simulator was according the parallel operation of five sub-simulators who are predicting the climate parameters distribution in the greenhouse according greenhouse geometry, construction and equipment. As a biological simulator a modified version of TOMGRO according Mediterranean greenhouse growers technique was used. Most specific the modification in the model was the topping of the plants. Parallel a weather generator was developed and validated during winter period. Simultaneously an analysis of case studies took place in order to estimate the effectiveness of climate change on tomato crop development and production. Finally software was developed for biophysical simulator optimization according the use of Branch & Bound algorithms. |
