Focusing on remote, isolated, and underserved communities, a multi-energy system is designed in this research which is capable of utilizing different energy sources in a more coordinated and energy-efficient way to support various demands, such as fresh water, electricity, hydrogen, thermal demand, etc. The energy sources considered are renewables (wind, solar, marine) and natural gas. The energy conversion process includes water desalination, gas combustion, water electrolyzation, and different types of storage (hydrogen tank, electricity, thermal, etc.) are designed to serve as buffers in supply-demand balancing. Sets of experiments are designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed operating model and investigate the impact of uncertainties from renewable generations and demands.

A framework to estimate root phenotypes from minirhizotron (MR) imagery, specifically, length, diameter, and color based on convolutional neural networks (CNN), is presented. The proposed framework uses a set of reusable sub-network modules to compose different networks for both object (root) detection and attribute (phenotype) estimation for per-root and per-image root phenotyping tasks. The suggested framework provides a solution without requiring root segmentation. In per-root phenotyping, the first step involves detecting the roots in the image, and subsequently, the phenotypes of each detected root are estimated. In per-image root phenotyping, an aggregated per-image phenotype value is estimated, including total root length (TRL), mean root diameter (RD) and white root percentage. In this paper we demonstrate the use of both regression-based and objects' points-detection-based variations for both per-root and per-image root phenotype estimation, resulting in five network architectures, aimed to provide automatic solutions for non-destructive root analysis. These networks include two architectures previously used for TRL estimation (now used for mean root diameter and white root percentage estimation) and three new network architectures. The proposed framework is demonstrated on an annotated grapevine root dataset, made publicly available as part of this paper, containing 531 images. All images acquired in situ, using an MR system, annotated with Rootfly software for these tasks. For the detected individual root, regression-based modules yield errors of 8.8%, 15.5%, and 23.5% for color, length, and diameter respectively. The points-detection-based modules result in errors of 9.1%, 14.9%, and 25.0% for the same parameters. The obtained image level estimates result with errors of 11.5%-16.5% for white root color percentage, 13.7%- 16.0% for TRL, and 17.6%-22.1% for mean RD. We demonstrate that the per-root estimations of diameter and color, obtained with the new s
