Optimization model of a system consisting of solar water heater plus accumulator plus user with variable heat carrier flowrate
Because of solar energy input periodicity accumulation of this energy becomes a very important problem. The optimal combination of a solar water heater (SWH) with an accumulator for heat supply to a user may find application both in use of the SWH for heat supply and in combined power generating plants. In the later case use of solar water heaters and accumulators is possible in the combined thermal station scheme with use of solar energy for regenerative feed water preheating in the low-temperature region. A mathematical model for optimizing the operating regimes of a system consisting of a SWH plus accumulator plus user, characterized by variability of the flowrates in the system and elements in time is presented.
