Predictive Control for Optimal Greenhouse Micro-Climate Management: An LSTM-Based Approach
摘要
This paper presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy enhanced by a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) forecasting model for optimizing indoor environmental conditions. The LSTM model is trained on historical data to predict key variables, including temperature, humidity, CO₂ concentration, and solar irradiance, over a 24-h horizon. These predictions serve as inputs for the MPC, which dynamically adjusts HVAC systems, CO₂ injection, lighting, and humidity control to maintain optimal conditions while minimizing energy and resource consumption. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in reducing deviations from optimal setpoints and enhancing indoor climate regulation. The integration of LSTM-based forecasting into MPC improves control efficiency, enabling a more adaptive and energy-efficient decision-making process. This study highlights the potential of data-driven predictive control for sustainable and intelligent indoor climate management. Future work will focus on real-world implementation and adaptive learning mechanisms to further enhance the robustness and performance of the system.
