The increasing global demand for fresh produce, coupled with the necessity to reduce postharvest losses, has driven research into alternative storage methods that extend fruit shelf life while maintaining quality. However, concerns about the environmental and human health effects of chemical treatments are driving the shift to nonchemical preservation methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of differen...

Growing solar photovoltaic supply has significantly reshaped energy prices, lowering them during solar generating hours. Large-scale hydropower reservoir operations need to adapt to changes in energy prices to maximize hydropower revenue. This paper evaluates effects of solar generation-changed energy prices on hydropower generation for five multipurpose reservoirs in California using a hydroeconomic optimization model. In Cal...
