Physics-Informed Neural Learning for State Reconstruction and Parameter Identification in Coupled Greenhouse Climate Dynamics

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have recently emerged as a promising framework for integrating data-driven learning with physical knowledge. In this work, we propose a coupled PINN approach for the joint reconstruction of indoor temperature and humidity dynamics in greenhouse environments, together with simultaneous identification of key model parameters. The method incorporates a reduced-order physically motivated model into the learning process, enabling consistent estimation under sparse and noisy observations. The artificial intelligence contribution lies in the development of a coupled physics-informed neural learning framework that integrates governing dynamical constraints into neural network training, while the engineering application focuses on greenhouse climate state reconstruction and parameter identification. The proposed framework is evaluated on a controlled synthetic benchmark that mimics diurnal forcing conditions. Compared with a purely data-driven neural network baseline, the coupled PINN achieves improved reconstruction accuracy, reducing temperature and humidity errors while maintaining high coefficients of determination. The improvement is particularly pronounced in the humidity channel, where latent moisture dynamics are more difficult to infer from limited measurements. In addition to accurate state reconstruction, the method successfully recovers the dominant physical parameters governing the system dynamics, demonstrating its ability to learn interpretable representations beyond data interpolation. These results highlight the potential of physics-informed learning for greenhouse climate modeling and, more broadly, for data-scarce environmental systems.
