Abstract

In this study, an nutrient solution control system have been designed and implemented, which controls the density of nutrient and the nutrient supply automatically using embedded real time operating system and fuzzy control algorithm. The factors which affect the growth of crop consist of solar radiation, external temperature, and external humidity. Also, nutrient temperature, electric conductivity(ED, and pH are monitored. According to the surveyed results, a fuzzy control algorithm for nutrient control is developed in order to control the density of nutrient and the nutrient supply. The exclusive embedded controller which consists of an embedded real time operating system, a korean LCD, and a graphic is developed for common users.

본 연구에서는 임베디드 RTOS와 퍼지제어 알고리즘을 이용하여 양액의 농도와 공급량을 자동으로 조절하는 양액 공급 제어 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 작물의 생육에 영향을 미치는 인자는 일사량, 외부온도, 외부습도, 생육단계로 구성하였으며, 양액온도, 전기전도도(EC), 산도(pH)가 측정되었다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 양액의 농도와 공급량 조절을 위해 양액 조절 퍼지제어 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 일반 사용자를 위하여 임베디드 RTOS, 한글 LCD, 그리고 그래픽으로 구성된 양액 전용 임베디드 제어기를 개발하였다.
