Abstract: (46 Views) |
In this research, a multi energy production system based on solar energy was proposed to meet the energy consumption of a residential building in four different cities of Iran and Australia. The optimization of the system was done with the response surface method and Minitab software. For optimization, 6 decision variables including temperature of hot storage source, temperature of cold storage source, pump efficiency, turbine efficiency, inlet pressure to turbine and number of heliostats were selected. The results of the system optimization showed that the system in its most optimal state can reach a return exergy efficiency of 19.4% and a system cost rate of 169.9 dollars per hour. The performance of the system was investigated in four cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Ahvaz and Isfahan. The main goal of this research is to define a zero energy building by providing the energy consumption of a residential building with a multi production system based on solar energy. A BEopt optimization expression was used for the process of simulating the building and extracting the required energy consumption of the residential building in the study cities. Comparing the results of building energy consumption calculation and system productions in four study cities showed that the proposed system can easily provide the energy consumption required by residential buildings in the study cities throughout the year. |
