Under the Agricultural technology is influenced from climate that is requisite of seasonal. So this system will cover the problems and develop the agricultural industry as well. So far, the agricultural industry is developing however, it has the points of the weakness because of natural disasters such as wind risk and heavy snow. This paper designs system to change vinyl on the greenhouse. This is a preliminary study for the real-time feedback control of greenhouse. The study developed a wireless IoT sensor system based on authentic technology capacities, to integrate with the protected horticulture Management System. These system was used to evaluate the levels of the snow cover and wind through IoT devices. The existing greenhouse uses the warm water to clear snow or to change methods. This system will recover by changing the vinyl which is covered outside of the greenhouse. The points of the system is changing vinyl to spin pipe. It is contained extra vinyl. The effects of this system are minimized labor protected crops from natural disasters. For this purpose, the study first developed a wireless IoT sensor unit that integrates an MEMS device and wireless communication module. Also, the study developed an operating program that enables real-time response measurement. It will help operational and maintenance greenhouse as a result.

최근 온실에 온수 보일러를 설치하여 실내를 가온하는 시스템이 많이 도입되고 있다. 이들 장치들은 설정된 실내온도를 맞추기 위한 온도 제어장치가 부가되어 있지만, 대부분 ON-OFF제어 시스템을 구성하고 있기 때문에 온도 진폭의 현상이 발생하여 온도 제어 정밀성이 떨어지고 에너지소비도 많다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위하여는 보일러 온수저장조와 온설 내 방열관 사이에 삼방변을 설치하고 설정온도, 실내온도 및 외기온을 비교하여 삼방변의 위치를 조절하여야 한다. (중략)

일반적으로 시설원예용 환경제어장치란 온실 내부 환경을 작물생육에 적합한 환경으로 조성시키기 위하여 원예시설에 부착된 환기창이나 냉난방장치, $CO_2$발생기, 양액제어장치 등을 통해 온도, 습도, $CO_2$, EC, pH 등의 각종 환경을 인위적으로 조절해 주는 장치라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 장치는 수동스위치 조작에서부터 전자제어, 컴퓨터에 의한 복합환경제어에 이르기까지 매우 다양한 제품이 생산 판매되고 있지만, 상호 제품간 호환성이 없으며, 성능에도 차이가 나는 것을 볼 수 있다. (중략)

An experiment for an optimized automatic greenhouse environment in a flower farming greenhouse by building a ubiquitous sensor network with various sensors was conducted and the results were evaluated. And various culturing environmental information and data in the greenhouse were collected and analyzed. Then, the greenhouse was designed to maintain the best culturing environment on the basis of existing recommended optimized figures. By measuring the growth of the crops in the greenhouse, A system which controls facilities in the greenhouse to maintain the best culturing environment in accordance with change in the environment was analyzed.Computer simulation result proced that we discovered that controlling the facilities and the artificial light source increased production, enhanced quality, reduced labor and heating cost immensely. The experiment has proved that the u-flower farming system can maximize the income of farm families by sending warning messages to users of this system when weather suddenly changes so that users may cope with such changes and maintain the best culturing environment.

Solar energy is one of the most abundant renewable energy sources on Earth but there are restrictions on the use of solar thermal energy due to the time-discrepancy between the solar-rich season and heating demand. In Europe and Canada, a seasonal solar thermal energy storage (SSTES), which stores the abundant solar heat in the summer and uses the heat for the winter heating load, is used. Recently, SSTES has been introduced in Korea and empirical studies are actively underway. In this study, a $2,000m^2$ flat plate type solar collector and $20,000m^2$ of borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) were studied for a greenhouse in Hwaseong City, which has a heating load of 2,164 GJ/year. To predict the dynamic performance of the system over time, it was simulated using the TRNSYS 18 program, and the solar fraction of the system with the control conditions was investigated. As a result, the solar BTES system proposed in this study showed an average solar fraction of approximately 60% for 5 years when differential temperature control was applied to both collecting solar thermal energy and discharging BTES. The proposed system simplified the configuration and control method of the solar BTES system and secured its performance.

The effect of two-fluid fogging system on the control of Bemisia tabaci in tomato cultivation was evaluated in a greenhouse. The number of Bemisia tabaci was decreased by 87% from the fog treatment for 7 days. During the fog treatment, the mean daily temperature was decreased by $2^{\circ}C$ and the mean daily relative humidity was increased by 3~4% as compared to the non-treatment. The reduction of Bemisia tabaci in the treatment might not be resulted from the differences in temperature and humidity in the greenhouse. The sound coming from the two-fluid fogging system did not affect when it was operated without water inside. Therefore it was concluded that water droplets coming out the nozzle reduced the growth and the movement of whiteflies because the suspension of tiny water droplets were attached on the skin of whiteflies.

Accurate quantification of plant physiological properties is often necessary for optimal control of an automated greenhouse production system. Conventional crop growth monitoring systems are usually burdensome, inaccurate, and harmful to crops. A thermal image analysis system was used to accomplish rapid and accurate measurements of physiological-property changes of water-stressed crops. Thermal images were obtained from several species of plants that were placed in a growth chamber. Analyzing the images provided the pattern of temperature changes in a leaf and the amount of differences in the temperature of stressed plants and non-stressed plants.

Growth information of crops is essential for efficient control of greenhouse environment. However, a few non-invasive and continuous monitoring methods of crop growth has been developed. A computer vision system with a CCD camera and a frame grabber was developed to conduct non-destructive and intact plant growth analyses. The developed system was evaluated by conducting the growth analysis of lettuce. A linear model that explains the relationship between the relative crop coverage by the crop canopy and dry weight of a lettuce was presented. It was shown that this measurement method could estimate the dry weight from the relative crop coverage by the crop canopy. The result also showed that there was a high correlation between the projected top leaf area and the dry weight of the lettuce.

In summer, the natural ventilation performance for varying greenhouse width is very important in the glasshouses for year round cultivation. The effect of the side openings and greenhouse width on natural ventilation performance was analyzed by simulation. The necessary ventilation rate with different solar radiation transmittance increased significantly when the outside temperature grows higher. The necessary ventilation rate of 40% transmittance was about half of that of 90% transmittance. In consequence, shading effect on temperature control in greenhouse is significant in summer. When the total area of the openings for ventilation is constant, the maximum ventilation rate happens when the area of roof openings is equal to the area of side openings. This maximum ventilation rate is about 3 times of that of the greenhouse with roof openings and without side openings. Therefore, the side openings are advantageous to improve the natural ventilation in greenhouses. As the greenhouse width increases, the influence of side openings on the ventilation rate is becoming smaller. If the natural ventilation rate of the greenhouse with roof and side openings is to become double of that of the roof openings only, the width should be narrower than 38.4m for the Venlo type and 64m for Wide span type.

In the recent 10 years the protected cultivation area in Korea has been increased rapidly, and now it is very important issue to develop the heating and cooling system using the renewable energy, because the greenhouse heating and cooling cost is increased with the fossil fuel price rises. Actually the development of the cooling system is more difficult than that of the heating system, since the cooling load of greenhouse in the summer season is 2―3 times larger than the heating load in the winter season. In this study low temperature phase change materials (LTPCM) for the cold storage system were selected and developed. The theoretical and experimental analysis of thermal characteristics of LTPCM makes it possible to control the phase change temperature and stabilize the thermo-physical properties. LTPCM developed in this study has good advantages to be used as the cold storage not only for the house and working space in factory but also for the cold storage of agricultural and live-stock products.
