Abstract text:
This paper presents a comparative study between two systems, the proposed using non-conventional energy sources and the reference using current sources of energy. The study focuses on comparing the results obtained by the proposed system in comparison with the classical system to produce heat and hot water for a family home having four members. To accurately assess the performance of a hybrid system providing heat and hot water requires some assumptions about the consumption of heat and domestic hot water, climate zones of the target location, intensity of solar radiation for these areas and energy price. All these data are essential for effective design of a hybrid system that uses renewable energy sources.
Key Words:
system; solar energy; solar collector; biomass heating.
