In this work, an application of the Symmetric Send-On-Delta (SSOD) event-based controllers to the inside air temperature control of the greenhouse production process is presented. The control technique analysis is split into two stages. The first stage is devoted to determine the proper controller parameters and to check the influence of the Send-On-Delta (SOD) threshold value through simulation study. At the second stage, experimental tests on the real greenhouse facilities are performed. The obtained results show that the analyzed control techniques handle the control task with desired accuracy and performance. In particular, the proposed control system saves costs related with energy consumption and wear minimization, by achieving a satisfactory performance at the same time.

Abstract
In this work, an application of the Symmetric Send-On-Delta (SSOD) event-based controllers to the inside air temperature control of the greenhouse production process is presented. The control technique analysis is split into two stages. The first stage is devoted to determine the proper controller parameters and to check the influence of the Send-On-Delta (SOD) threshold value through simulation study. At the second stage, experimental tests on the real greenhouse facilities are performed. The obtained results show that the analyzed control techniques handle the control task with desired accuracy and performance. In particular, the proposed control system saves costs related with energy consumption and wear minimization, by achieving a satisfactory performance at the same time.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
