| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 工業管理研究所 === 106 === With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the active operation of global economic activities, humans have consumed increasingly more fossil fuels to generate electricity. Greenhouse gas emissions have been increasing, which results in global warming and makes the climate unstable. In order to reduce production fluctuations due to weather conditions, the limited area of cultivated land and the high construction cost, hydroponic technology has become a new choice for greenhouse agriculture. In recent years, a new ecological cycle(生態循環) farming system, Aquaponic, has been proposed to integrate fish culture with hydroponic cultivation. In aquaponics, nutrients generated by the decomposition of fish waste are used as fertilizer to grow plants, thus reducing environmental impact due to water discharge from traditional aquaculture.
In this research, a sustainable food production system proposed with the integration of aquaponics and solar photovoltaic systems. Solar energy output is calculated from the amount of local sunlight. The problem is formulated as a linear programming model. Considered the budget and setting cost of aquaponic system, solar system and storage system. The objective are “maximize solar energy generation”. Use Gurobi software tool to find the best decision for configuring solar energy and energy storage systems.
Under the goal of meeting the aquaponic system's electricity demand and the maximum green power output, the linear programming model suggests to increase the number of installed solar panels as much as possible as long as the budget allows, with no need to install energy storage system. To meet the system's electricity demand, power will be chose to provide by the solar system or power company cause the more inexpensive electricity price.
