Solar availability for winter space heating: an analysis of the calendar period 1953-1975

Description: Solar availability for space heating has been determined from an analysis of SOLMET data tapes for eight US sites. The tapes contain hourly readings of insolation and ambient temperature for the period 1953-1975. Scatter-diagrams of insolation versus heating degree-days, compiled on a daily basis, indicate a wide variation in insolation levels, even during periods of coldest weather. For seven of the eight sites, the peak-day backup energy required by a solar space heating system exceeded 85% o… more

Optimal design of seasonal storage for 100% solar space heating in buildings

Description: An analysis is presented of seasonal solar systems that contain water as the sensible heat storage medium. A concise model is developed under the assumption of a fully mixed, uniform temperature, storage tank that permits efficient simulation of long-term (multi-day) system performance over the course of the year. The approach explicitly neglects the effects of short-term (sub-daily) fluctuations in insolation and load, effects that will be extremely small for seasonal solar systems. This appro… more
