AB  - In this paper, first we propose a novel hybrid renewable energy-basedsolution for frost prevention in horticulture applications involving activeheaters. Then, we develop a multi-objective robust optimization-basedformulation to optimize the distribution of a given number of active heaters ina given large-scale orchard. The objectives are to optimally heat the orchardby the proposed frost prevention system and to minimize the total length of theenergy distribution pipe network (which is directly related to the installationcost and the cost of energy losses during energy transfer). Next, the resultingoptimization problem is approximated using a discretization scheme. A casestudy is provided to give an idea of the potential savings using the proposedoptimization method compared to the result from a heuristic-based design, whichshowed a 24.13% reduction in the total pipe length and a 54.29% increase infrost prevention.
