Design of Adaptive LED Supplemental Lighting System Based on LabVIEW

Abstract

With the global increase in energy prices and the urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, high energy usage is the main problem the greenhouse industry facing. Optimized control of supplemental lighting intensity and quality help to improve productivity and energy efficiency of greenhouse.In this paper,LED light source module is developed according to the design of light distribution of RRGB chip based on plants need for uniform lighting. Adaptive LED supplementary lighting system realize collection, storage and call of environmental data, and adaptive regulation of red, green, and blue light output based on combination of upper computer LabVIEW and controller STM32.PC based on LabVIEW monitor environmental parameters,and call or choose PPFD setting value of red, green, blue three bands of light based on expert database. The controller communicating with LabVIEW wirelessly through WiFi module, conducts real-time detection and adaptive regulation on photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of red, green and blue bands according to PPFD setting value. This intelligent supplemental lighting system meets the requirement of plants for lighting environment and greatly saving energies through adaptive adjustment of PPFD of red, green and blue bands in environment according to the setting based on different supplemental lighting demands of different plants or the same plant in different growth stages for PPFD and light quality ratio.
