Abstract
A fast computerized simulation programme was developed for calculations related to solar heating systems. It will be used at a Danish test plant for solar energy for calculating the size of state subsidies as these are dependent on the plants` reckoned annual production rates. There are potentials for making the programme accessible to a larger number of consultants and manufacturers as a basis for design and optimization of solar heating systems. The programme is based on a simple thermal balance for at least two storage elements, an element heated by the solar circuit and an element heated by other means (the supplementary section, electricity carrier, heat exchangers from boilers or district heating systems). An eventual temperature-stratification in the solar circuit section is taken into account by the ability of the programme to calculate of the stratification coefficient. The programme calculates on a one-hourly basis. It can perform calculations on systems with either one or two storage tanks with built-in heat exchangers and can be used for both domestic water heating systems and space heating with or without supplementary energy sources and systems with a constant temperature. The calculation time for annual simulation is ca. 4 seconds per 486/66MHzz PC. (AB)
