Control of a New Advanced Energy Saving Screen System in Greenhouses

An industrial company developed a new type energy screen, that can be used to harvest heat in time of surplus sun shine. There is a trade-off between light loss due to the screen, and benefits from harvested heat, which save natural gas. The idea is to investigate the control strategy to optimise this system.
