PLANT PRODUCTION FEEDBACK CONTROL LOOP OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Sensors provide environmental conditions and plant growth information while control devices regulate the conditions. A calculated data point for a growth of a plant may be generated, and an optimum input variable value for the growth may be obtained. A target value for a sensor data point of a sensor that monitors a condition affecting the growth or the calculated data point for the growth may be further acquired. As such, one or more control devices that most strongly correlate with the target value may be determined based on at least one of the optimum input variable value or a vector association array. Thus, at least one control device setting value for the one or more control devices may be ascertained based on a target path for achieving the target value. Accordingly, each control device may be commanded to implement a control device setting value.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
executing a measurement routine for a plant that is located in least one of a room or a site, the measurement routine generating a calculated data point for a growth of the plant; executing a feedback analysis routine for the plant across a time interval to develop an optimum input variable value for the growth of the plant; obtaining a target value for a sensor data point of a sensor that monitors a condition affecting the growth of the plant or the calculated data point for the growth of the plant; determining one or more control devices that most strongly correlate with the target value based on at least one of the optimum input variable value or a vector association array, the one or more control devices controlling conditions that affect the growth of the plant; ascertaining at least one control device setting value for the one or more control devices based on a target path for achieving the target value for the sensor data point or the calculated data point; and executing a device control routine to command the one or more control devices to implement the at least one control device setting value.
