Abstract
A survey is presented of the developments in scientific literature on the greenhouse optimal control. The related problems to optimal control were discussed, and the schematic diagram of optimal control system, combined crop models and optimization algorithm were covered focusing on issues such as: model simplification and validation, definition of objective function, input or output constraints and dynamic optimization, and especially structure-function Greenlab model was made s a first exploration for the optimal control application. Not only the above research issues were listed in the paper, the perspectives and the solutions are presented as well. It is pointed out that only the crop growth model is integrated into the greenhouse climate optimal control, the best economical result and energy-saving can be warranted.
