Overall Efficiency of On-Site Production and Storage of Solar Thermal Energy

Harnessing renewable energy sources (RES) using hybrid systems for buildings is almost a deontological obligation engineers and researchers in the field, increasing percentage of renewables within mix represents an important target. In crowded urban areas, on-site production storage from can be real challenge technical point view. The main objectives this paper are quantification impact consumer’s profile on overall efficiency final use solar thermal energy, as well developing multicriteria assessment order to provide methodology selection prioritizing investments. Buildings with various consumption profiles lead achieving different values performance indicators similar configurations supply. regard, analysis profile’s efficiency, achieved case generation was performed. obtained results validate following conclusion: On-site integration allowed consumers RES at desired coverage rates, while restricted by available mounting areas fields storage, under conditions high efficiencies. segregate support optimal selection, carried out, having criteria heating systems.
