Abstract

Agricultural greenhouses must accurately predict environmental factors to ensure optimal crop growth and energy management efficiency. However, the existing predictors have limitations when dealing with dynamic, non-linear, and massive temporal data. This study proposes four supervised learning techniques focused on linear regression (LR) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) to predict the internal temperature of a greenhouse. A meteorological station is installed in the greenhouse to collect internal data (temperature, humidity, and dew point) and external data (temperature, humidity, and solar radiation). The data comprises a one year, and is divided into seasons for better analysis and modeling of the internal temperature. The study involves sixteen experiments corresponding to the four models and the four seasons and evaluating the models’ performance using R2, RMSE, MAE, and MAPE metrics, considering an acceptability interval of ±2 °C. The results show that LR models had difficulty maintaining the acceptability interval, while the SVR models adapted to temperature outliers, presenting the highest forecast accuracy among the proposed algorithms.
