Eficiência energética na aeração de armazenadores de grãos utilizando lógica Fuzzy

Abstract

The need to have knowledge about grain conservation is evident when analyzing the potential of Brazilian agricultural production. Thus, there is also the high loss of much of what is produced in the fields. One of the ways to minimize costs in the production and conservation of grains is through the efficiency of the grain storage process, ie, the reduction of energy cost in aeration systems, which are essential for the conservation of production. Thus, this study developed a technique using fuzzy logic, which allows to adjust, automatically, the aeration rate/ventilating systems and hence the air flow storers grain silo, to obtain a system with greater efficiency and energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption consumed by the fan motors. Thus, it is possible to reduce costs and avoid losses and / or waste in the production chain.
