Large-scale water pit thermal energy storage (PTES) promotes solar district heating (SDH) system as one of the most potential renewable applications for carbon neutrality. PTES needs vast investment and operates in a complicated with numerous components, highlighting need suitable simulation tool tech-economic feasibility investigations. This paper experimentally theoretically investigated long...

In Canada, more than 80% of energy in the residential sector is used for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) production. This study aimed to model compare performance four different systems, using solar as a renewable source DHW A novel microchannel (MC) thermal collector microchannel-based hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) were fabricated (utilizing heat exchanger both cases), mathemati...

An improved optimization adjustment strategy for building heating ventilation and air conditioning (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning, HVAC) is proposed. The energy consumption model of heating/refrigeration established by using the instantaneous balance heat, then optimal operation HVAC based on weather forecast data constructed in range user temperature comfort. Finally, MATLAB TRNSYS simu...

This paper presents the development of a computational model latent thermal energy storage (LTES) in shell and tube configuration with longitudinal fins. The describes physical process transient heat transfer between fluid (HTF) phase change material (PCM) LTES. For modeling PCM, enthalpy formulation was used. Based on one-dimensional model, new Trnsys type developed written Fortran. Validation...

The ground water-source heat pump system for the plant factory lacks a scientific operation strategy to solve problem of high energy consumption in winter and summer. It is very difficult uneconomical change conditions by experimental means obtain actual data. current study aims build TRNSYS simulation model Shanghai Chongming Natural Light Plant Factory. For heating season, was 2315 GJ. Compar...
