From Crop and Energy Data to Optimized Lighting Scheduling: A Surrogate-Based MILP Framework for Vertical Farming
Francesco Ceccanti, Andrea Baccioli, Aldo Bischi
The paper presents a surrogate-based mixed‑integer linear programming framework to schedule artificial lighting in hydroponic vertical farms, reducing electricity use and cost whil…
Can sunlight replace LEDs in vertical farms? A critical assessment of optical-fiber daylighting strategies
Francesco Ceccanti, Aldo Bischi, Marco Antonelli +1
Vertical farming is a promising approach for increasing food production in controlled environments while reducing land use, water consumption, and dependence on external climatic c…
Solar Daylighting to Offset LED Lighting in Vertical Farming: A Techno-Economic Study of Light Pipes
Francesco Ceccanti, Aldo Bischi, Marco Antonelli +1
Vertical farming is a controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) approach in which crops are grown in stacked layers under regulated climate and lighting, enabling predictable produc…
Beyond yield: integrating energy, water, cost, and carbon to benchmark indoor vertical farming viability
Francesco Ceccanti, Aldo Bischi, Umberto Desideri +1
The interest in vertical farming arises from its ability to ensure consistent, high-quality, and pest-free vegetable production while supporting synergies with energy systems and u…
