What are agricultural microgrids?

Diverging from conventional industrial microgrids, agricultural microgrids exhibit distinctive characteristics on the load side, wherein the interplay of carbon emissions between the agricultural and energy realms assumes significance.

Is agricultural microgrid deployment a fundamental cornerstone for Smart Village Development?

Abstract: Agricultural microgrid deployment plays a pivotal role in the progression of modern agricultural production, acting as a fundamental cornerstone for the realization of smart village.

Why is smart agriculture a good idea?

The proposed smart agriculture system is promising for several reasons. First, it enhances agricultural productivity in terms of quantity and quality meeting the increasing need for sustainable farming methods. Second, it reduces water and energy usage supporting conservation initiatives and reducing the environmental impact.

How can smart farms adapt to the future?

Despite the current scarcity of smart farms in the Ifrane region, our system is designed to adapt to such situations in the future. By connecting multiple farms to a unified Cloud-based IoT platform and a unified control unit, our system facilitates the aggregation of real-time data on water usage from various agricultural contexts.

How can we improve the intelligence of a smart farm prototype?

Through the continuous monitoring of water levels and the automatic activation of water pumps based on the collected data, we enhance the intelligence of the prototype. In this study, we exclusively present the results of the smart farm prototype.

Can IoT and cloud-computing be used in agriculture monitoring?

A prototype was developed and evaluated with diverse cultures, and the results showed outstanding efficacy. Kodandaramaiah et al. suggested a sophisticated IoT and cloud-computing-based agriculture monitoring system. This system uses sensors to periodically collect temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and light inside a greenhouse.
