Hybrid renewable energy-controlled system for an urban eco greenhouse

Urban gardening, especially in apartments or townhouses, faces significant challenges such as limited natural light due to scarce windows or surrounding tall buildings. This often hampers the ability of residents to grow healthy plants, which are desired for their aesthetic, air-purifying, and therapeutic benefits. To address this issue, a sustainable system utilizing solar and wind energy is proposed to provide adequate lighting for indoor plants. This technical report documents the design and simulation of an Hybrid Renewable Energy Controlled System for an Urban Echo Greenhouse. The primary of this project are to design a prototype for an Eco Greenhouse system that provide UV light to plant and monitor their condition that incorporates hardware components. The Hybrid Renewable Energy-Controlled System for Urban Eco Greenhouse is an innovative solution designed to enhance the sustainability and productivity of urban agriculture. Utilizing the ESP32 microcontroller, this system integrates multiple sensors and renewable energy sources to create a self-sustaining and responsive greenhouse environment. Key components include an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sensor and a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, which together enhance the system’s security and environmental monitoring capabilities. The LDR sensor ensures efficient UV light provision for plants, while the PIR sensor detects unauthorized movements, triggering alerts through a buzzer and visual notifications on an LCD display. The system is powered by a combination of solar and wind energy, ensuring a renewable and reliable energy source that reduces dependency on conventional power supplies. This multi sensor, renewable energy-based approach provides a comprehensive and adaptable solution for urban greenhouses, promoting eco-friendly practices and ensuring optimal plant growth. The integration of advanced sensor technologies and renewable energy sources not only improves system efficiency but also contributes significantly to environmental sustainability. This abstract encapsulates the core functionalities and benefits of the Hybrid Renewable Energy-Controlled System, highlighting its potential impact on modern urban agriculture.
