Problems solved by technology

[0009] Using this method, it is possible to make the most efficient use of the production rate, for example by reducing the production rate when the demand for the growing plant type is low to reduce the waste caused by overproduction of the plant type and the energy demand Reduces production rate when high to reduce peak load on energy supply

Embodiment Construction

[0041] now refer to Figures 1 to 4 , shows an artificial light plant growing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The plant growing system 1 comprises a housing 2 , first and second plant growing units 3 , 4 and a controller 5 .

[0042] The first and second growth unit 3 , 4 are arranged in the housing 2 . The first and second growth units 3 , 4 are identical in construction, and thus for the sake of brevity only the first growth unit 3 will be described in detail below. It will be understood that one of the growth units may be omitted, or additional growth units may be included.

[0043] The first growing unit 3 includes a plurality of horizontally arranged shelves 6 . The shelf 6 is supported by a plurality of upright legs 7 . Plants 8 are grown on each shelf 6 according to principles such as hydroponic growth or aeroponic growth. It will be appreciated that the term "plant" may refer to fruits, vegetables, flowers, algae, and or other biomass...

Abstract

The present application relates to a method of controlling an artificial light plant growing system (1). The method includes receiving information indicative of a production demand for a plant type to be grown in the artificial light plant growing system (1) and information indicative of an energy supply for a light source (9) of the artificial light plant growing system (1), and controlling operation of the light source (9) of a plant growing environment of the artificial light plant growing system (1) in dependence on the received information so that the production rate of a plant (8) of said plant type grown in the system (1) versus the production demand and energy supply is optimised. The present application also relates to a computer program comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the method of to be performed, a controller (5) for controlling an artificial light plant growing system (1), and an artificial light plant growing system (1).

Description

[0001] Invention topic [0002] A method of controlling an artificial light plant growth system. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to methods of controlling artificial light plant growth systems. The invention also relates to a computer program comprising instructions for causing the method to be carried out when executed by at least one processor, a controller for controlling an artificial light plant growing system, and an artificial light plant growing system. Background technique [0004] Plant growing systems comprising a light source for supplying artificial light to plants growing in the plant growing system are known. The light source promotes the growth of plants during periods when low levels of natural light are available, for example due to seasonal variations in natural light levels. [0005] WO 2013 / 089825 discloses a device with a light source for assisting the growth of plants, wherein the power consumption of the light source varies ac...
