This study was carried out to get required torque data needed to design and develop a roll-up ventilation system in a pipe-constructed plastic film green-house. The results obtained from this study are as follows : 1. The required torques of a roll-up ventilation system in greenhouse are the functions of its length. The torques should multiplied by the conversion coefficients (2.0 in ceiling vent, 1.8 in side vent) in case of application. 2. In constructing pipe-constructed plastic film greenhouse, a shaft pipe is the largest essential element in roll - up shaft weight constitution which have an effect on the required torques. Therefore, the pipe should be light using nonferrous materials like aluminum alloy. 3. A planetary reduction ventilator of differential ring gear type is suitable for a roll-up ventilation system, because it can make high efficient reduction just using the first step shift.

In this paper, we proposed a smart greenhouse system that can easily grow plants indoors without professional knowledge by using the criteria of factors affected by common plants (temperature, humidity, soil humidity), and implemented a system that can check the greenhouse state in real time and control the device remotely through mobile applications. Based on Raspberry pie and Arduino, the system measures the state of greenhouse in real time through sensors and automatically controls the device. After growing and experimenting with plants in a greenhouse for a certain period of time, it was confirmed that the environment suitable for each plant was maintained. Therefore, the smart greenhouse system in this paper is expected to improve plant cultivation efficiency and user convenience and also increase beginners' access to plants.

In order to obtain the information of bio-environment control, the thermal characteristics of soil in the greenhouse heated by the heat pump and latent heat storage system were experimentally analyzed. The experimental systems were composed of the greenhouse with a heat pump and a latent heat storage system (system I), the greenhouse with a heat pump (system II), the greenhouse with a latent heat storage system (system III), and the greenhouse without auxiliary heating system (system IV). The thermal characteristics experimentally analyzed in each system were temperature of soil layers, soil heat storage and release, soil heat capacity and soil heat storage ratio. The results could be summarized as follows. 1. Time to reach the highest temperature at 20cm deep in soil layers of the crop routs in case of system I was shown to be delayed by 6 hours in comparison to the time of the highest temperature at the soil surface. 2. In the clear winter days, the stored heat capacity values fur the system I and the system II were shown to be 22.3% and 11.0% higher than the released heat capacity respectively, and the stored heat capacity values for the system III and the system IV were shown to be 6.2% and 29.6% lower than the released heat capacity respectively This confirms that the system I provided the best heat storage effect. j. The heat quantity values stored or released were shown to be highest at 5 cm depth of soil layers. And it was reduced with increasing of depth of soil layers until 20 cm and was not changed under the soil layer of 20 cm depth. 4. The heat absorption rates of soil, the ratio between supplied and stored heat energy, fur both the system I and system II were lower than 23%.

This study was performed to improve underirable warm greenhouse environment by fog cooling system in summer season. The resultsof droplet size analysis and cooling effects for fog cooling system are summarized as follows ; 1. At the pump pressure of 70kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ , the mean (SMD) drop size was 22.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the maximum and minimum drop size was 45.68${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.73${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ , respectively, and almost all of the drop size was less than 40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. 2. The temperature of fog cooling greenhouse with 60% shading was dropped more than 2$^{\circ}C$ below the ambient temperature , while the greenhouse temperature without shading was 1$^{\circ}C$ higher than the ambient temperature. 3. It was found that fog spraying intervals were significantly influential on cooling effect. 4. When the greenhouse was ventilated sufficiently by natural vent system, green house temperature could be maintained by 2.5$^{\circ}C$ lower than the ambient temperature, while it was difficult to drop the greenhouse temperature below ambient temeperature without sufficient ventilation. 5. It was found that the temperature of experimental greenhouse could be maintained 3$^{\circ}C$ to 14$^{\circ}C$ lower that of control greenhouse though there were variations depending on experimental and weather conditions.

Purpose: A modern greenhouse consists of various Information and Communications Technology (ICT) components e.g., sensor nodes, actuator nodes, gateways, controllers, and operating softwarethat communicate with each other. The interoperability between these components is an essential characteristic for any greenhouse control system. A greenhouse control system could not work unless the components communicate via common interfaces. The TTAK.KO-06.0288 is an interface standard consisting of four parts. Notably, TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3, which describes the interface between a greenhouse operating system (GOS) and a greenhouse control gateway (GCG), is the core standard of TTAK.KO-06.0288. The objectives of this study were to analyze the TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3 standard, to suggest alternative solutions for identified issues, and to develop a library as a proof of the alternative solutions. Methods: The "data field" was analyzed using a comparative analysis method, since it is a data transmission unit of TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3. It was compared with other parts of TTAK.KO-06.0288 in terms of definition, format, size, and possible values. Although TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part1 and TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part2 do not use a "data field," they have a similar data structure. That structure was compared with the "data field" of TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3. Results: Twenty-one issues were identified across four categories: inter-standard issues, intra-standard issues, operational issues, and misprint issues. Since some of the issues can raise interoperability problems, 16 alternative solutions were suggested. In order to prove the alternative solutions, an open-source communication library called libtp3 was developed. The library passed 14 unit tests and was adapted to two research. Conclusions: Although TTAK.KO-06.0288-Part3 is an interface standard for communication between a GOS and a GCG, it might not communicate between different implementations because of the identified issues in the standard. These issues could be solved by the alternative solutions, which could be used to revise TTAK.KO-06.0288. In addition, a relevant organization should develop a program for compatibility testing and should pursue test products for smart greenhouses.
