GREENHOUSE WITH WASTE SUBSTRATE POWERED BY RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
Abstract
The main purposes of the project were to analyze the possibility of using waste from the energy sector - fly ash from the lignite combustion process - as a growing medium, as well as to use the electricity obtained from the photovoltaic panel to power the equipment located in the constructed greenhouse. In addition, the project involved the development of a connection of equipment to ensure proper air parameters for growing plants. The constructed and equipped greenhouse stand was used to perform vase tests on white mustard seeds. The test was carried out in four trials for each of the adopted ash concentrations in the growing medium. The grown plants were examined for plant length and root length. The experiment showed a positive effect of the ash substrate on the growth of the above-ground part of the plant and the number of germinated seeds. These results suggest that fly ash can play an important role as a substitute for traditional crop substrates, contributing to the efficient use of waste from the energy sector. Keywords: Waste from the energy industry, RES-powered greenhouse, renewable energy sources, growing plants on waste substrates
