Abstract:Prevention of frost in horticulture is important, but challenging, and its realization,especially using green-energy sources, will have a huge societal impact.In this paper, first we suggest an integrated solarphotovoltaics (PV)-assisted framework where solar energy will be used as a secondary application for frostprevention (the primary application is electricity production for grid). Optimal design and operation ofthe suggested integrated system require detailed thermal modeling of air dynamics in the orchar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
