Abstract
In this project, a system is being tested whereby energy produced by wind power and solar collectors is stored in a common water tank. The size of the storage is the same as for a solar system based on a day to day capacity. The study is based on measurements of energy use in a residential area of 57 dwellings north of Stockholm. Wind velocity and solar radiation in the same area have also been measured during the equivalent period, the year 1987. The results show that the amount of wind power that can supply the dwellings increases by 20 to 30 per cent by using the storage. During the summer period, when the wind power is reduced, the storage can be used for the solar collectors. Moreover, the need of power for heating is reduced due to the storage. By using this system, the total amount of purchased energy is reduced to 50 per cent in comparison with a normal Swedish building produced during the 1980s, even though the wind velocity in the area is relatively low. The total cost for the system can be compared with conventional installations. (4 refs., 5 figs.).
