Electrification of greenhouse production
Project supported by the Danish fund for Greenhouse production (Promilleafgiftsfonden for Gartneri og Frugtavl)
We have developed a program that can be used to calculate the effect of the climate on photosynthesis. The program shows the light, temperature, and CO2 response curves, and it can calculate the values of photosynthesis in a specific environment.
The program also calculates light at the plant level over a year in Denmark, with different uses of artificial light, scenes, etc. You can see the values month by month when you change the level of light, transmission through the glass, etc.
Photosynthesis:
​
The program opens with 3 tabs.
The first allows you to enter climate values and see the photosynthesis calculation. You can also choose between a few cultures.
​
In the second tab, you can make light, CO2, and temperature response curves.
The last tab can calculate a so-called photosynthesis grid. Here, you can find the greatest possible photosynthesis within a given area. Subsequently, e.g., 80% of the value is searched for to make plants that are produced with the least possible use of resources and, at the same time, become more compact.
