Design and Analysis of LED-Based Artificial Plant-Growing Fixture for Vertical Indoor Farming Systems
Abstract
The ability to perform photosynthesis with artificial lighting has eliminated the dependence on the sun in the agricultural industry. With the elimination of dependence on the sun, indoor plant production has been enabled by using artificial lighting in facilities such as vertical farming facilities. As a result of making soilless agriculture possible in vertical farming facilities, more organic and healthier plant production can be achieved as the plant is free from diseases and pests and therefore there is no need for pesticides. At the same time, thanks to the facilities to be established in city centers, the access process and cost of the plants grown will be reduced. In this study, the light needed for the growth of plants in the indoor vertical soilless agriculture facility was artificially designed using LED chips. In the luminaire(fixture) design, the wavelength and level of light can be adjusted according to the needs of plant growth periods. Comparative analyzes were made of the LED-based internal vertical luminaire design results carried out within the scope of the study and equivalent products used for the same purpose.
