Abstract

In an effort to improve energy efficiency and sustainability in the agricultural sector, smart technology has been integrated into the greenhouse system. The research utilizes the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) algorithm to forecast values of irradiance on a time principal. The RNN algorithm is chosen for its ability to handle time-series data and predict patterns based on historical data. By using the RNN algorithm, the system can predict real-time needs and then use this information to optimally distribute power from solar power plants. Additionally, this system is equipped with Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring capabilities, allowing remote monitoring and control of the research object. Connected IoT sensors collect real-time environmental data and send it to the data server for analysis. The data is also used to update the model of RNN, making supply prediction more accurate over time. The implementation results show increased energy efficiency and reduced operational costs in Green House management. By leveraging AI and IoT technology, model evaluation is conducted using RMSE, MSE, MAE, and R-squared (R²) metrics as important indicators of model accuracy. The evaluation results indicate that this model can provide accurate predictions of irradiance patterns, with low RMSE and MAE values and R² approaching one, signifying excellent implementation in capturing data dynamics.
