| In this seminar we will explore the implementation of energy-efficient LED lighting systems for vertical farming applications, emphasizing high-frequency current switching as a method to reduce energy consumption. Vertical farming is an innovative approach to agriculture that uses vertically stacked layers and controlled environments to maximize productivity in regions with limited arable land. Given that artificial lighting constitutes the largest share of energy consumption in vertical farms, optimizing its efficiency is essential for the long-term sustainability of these systems. The conducted research included developing and evaluating two LED lamp circuits designed specifically for this application. The first circuit was a foundation for initial testing, verifying the theoretical assumptions about plant responses to light switching. Building on these insights, a second circuit was designed, incorporating sliding mode control to ensure robust and reliable operation under varying conditions.
