Design and Temperature Control of an Ecological Hybrid Egg Incubator

https://doi.org/10.58571/CNCA.AMCA.2023.008

Resumen: In this article, we address the mechanical design and temperature control of an ecological egg incubator. A central component of the proposed incubator is the heating chamber, where the temperature is adjusted using a nickel/chromium heating element and a solar energy-based thermotank. Temperature regulation within the heating chamber is carried out through a PI controller. The tuning of the control gains is performed using the D-partition method, which allows obtaining stability regions of the closed-loop system in the presence of input time delay.
