Research Roadmap
Planned research initiatives to validate soil thermal mitigation, yield protection, and grid integration for Atlantic Canada's climate conditions.
Planned Research Programs
Soil Thermal Mitigation & Crop Yield Protection
Planned field studies to measure soil temperature reduction and yield protection during thermal stress events. Designed to validate the 5°C temperature mitigation and crop protection mechanisms across potato cultivation.
Land Use Efficiency (LUE) Analysis
Analytical framework for measuring dual energy production and agricultural output. Designed to optimize shading patterns and validate the 1.6 LUE metric for different growth cycles.
Virtual Power Plant Grid Integration
Modeling framework for distributed agrivoltaic arrays as coordinated VPP nodes. Designed to test grid-firming protocols, frequency regulation, and transmission optimization concepts.
