Optimal Led Lighting Design for Indoor Farm to Realize Economical Crop Production
Abstract
This paper presents an optimization method to realize economical crop production in indoor farms through LED
lighting design. The method considers crop’s light recipe, biomass output, and energy usage. It consists of an optimizer
supported by a lighting simulation engine and a biomass machine-learning engine. The lighting simulation engine evaluates
the lighting environment for the candidate lighting designs recommended by the optimizer. The biomass machine-learning
engine predicts the biomass for the lighting recipes generated by the candidate lighting designs. The optimization procedure
evolves by evaluating the candidate lighting designs until an optimal LED lighting design with least energy usage and
maximum crop biomass production is achieved.
