Smart frost control in greenhouses by neural networks models

Thermal comfort in greenhouses is a key fact to enhance productivity, due to the excess demand of energy for heating, ventilation and agroclimatic conditioning. Frost, in particular, represents a serious technological challenge if the crop sustainability is to be ensured. A Multi-Layer Perceptron artificial neural network, trained by a Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation algorithm was designed and implemented for the smart frost control in...
