On the Thermo Economical Optimization for Solar Hot Water Heating Systems

A thermo economic optimization analysis is presented based on steady state performance at annual average condition which yields simple algebraic formula for estimating the optimum heat storage tank capacity for solar energy applications. The P1-P2 method is used in the present study, together with the most favorable heat storage tank dimensioning criteria, for thermo economic analysis of solar hot water heating systems, SHW, including costs of all system elements. The optimum storage capacity and the most feasible collector area are calculated at which maximum net life cycle savings occurs for solar hot water heating systems. The validity of the optimization formulation was checked.

Güneş Sıcak Su Isıtma Sistemleri için Termo Ekonomik Optimizasyon Üzerine Bir Çalışma

Güneş enerjisi uygulamaları için optimum ısı depolama tankı kapasitesini tahmin etmek için basit cebirsel formül üreten yıllık ortalama koşulda kararlı durum performansına dayalı bir termo ekonomik optimizasyon analizi sunulmuştur. P1-P2 metodu, bu çalışmada, tüm sistem elemanlarının maliyetleri de dahil olmak üzere, sıcak kullanım suyu ısıtma sistemlerinin (SHW) termo ekonomik analizi için en uygun ısı depolama tankı boyutlandırma kriterleri ile birlikte kullanılmaktadır. Optimum depolama kapasitesi ve en uygun kollektör alanı, güneş enerjili sıcak su ısıtma sistemleri için maksimum net yaşam döngüsü tasarrufunun gerçekleştiği yerde hesaplanır. Optimizasyon formülasyonunun geçerliliği kontrol edildi.
