Development Of Future Sustainable Hydroponic System

Abstract

This thesis presents the development and construction of a hydroponic NFT system powered by a photovoltaic power station and supported by automated control and monitoring. The system was designed as a closed cultivation unit with recirculating nutrient solutions having regulation of pH, EC, and water level, as well as artificial lighting and ventilation systems. A photovoltaic power station with battery storage along with its own real time monitoring system was constructed to improve energy autonomy. Initial testing showed stable operation of the integrated system and confirmed that the hybrid PV station can support the hydroponic load without switching to the backup grid under the tested conditions. The results demonstrate the feasibility of combining hydroponic cultivation, renewable energy, and intelligent control into a single system to obtain food production with efficient resource usage.
