  • Solar domestic hot water System installed at Texas City, Texas
    2013
    Co-Authors: Nasa
    Abstract:

    This is the final technical report of the Solar Energy System located at LaQuinta Motor Inn, Texas City, Texas. The System was designed to supply 63 percent of the total hot water load for a new 98 unit motor inn. The Solar Energy System consists of a 2100 square feet Raypack liquid flat plate collector subSystem and a 2500 gallon storage subSystem circulating hot water producing 3.67 x 10 to the 8th power Btu/year. Abstracts from the site files, specification references, drawings, installation, operation, and maintenance instructions are included.

  • Solar Energy System economic evaluation for Solaron Akron, Akron, Ohio
    2013
    Co-Authors: Nasa
    Abstract:

    The economic analysis of the Solar Energy System that was installed at Akron, Ohio is developed for this and four other sites typical of a wide range of environmental and economic conditions. The analysis is accomplished based on the technical and economic models in the f chart design procedure with inputs based on the characteristics of the installed parameters of present worth of System cost over a projected twenty year life: life cycle savings, year of positive savings and year of payback for the optimized Solar Energy System at each of the analysis sites. The sensitivity of the economic evaluation to uncertainties in constituent System and economic variables is also investigated. Results show that only in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where insolation is 1828 Btu/sq ft/day and the conventional Energy cost is high, is this Solar Energy System marginally profitable.

  • techno economic Energy analysis of wind Solar hybrid System case study for western coastal area of saudi arabia
    Renewable Energy, 2016
    Co-Authors: Makbul A M Ramli, Ayong Hiendro, Yusuf Alturki
    Abstract:

    Abstract The potential of hybrid wind/Solar Energy System in the west coast area of Saudi Arabia is analyzed in this paper. The investigation puts emphasis on the Energy production and cost of Energy from both wind turbine and photovoltaic (PV) in the hybrid System. Unmet electric load and excess electricity are taken into consideration. The annual average Solar irradiation and wind speed considered in this study are 5.95 kWh/m 2 /day and 3.53 m/s, respectively. MATLAB and HOMER software are used to perform the technical and economic analyses of the hybrid System. As indicated from the simulation results, the PV array shares more electricity production than the wind turbine generator if both wind turbine and PV array are utilized in the wind/Solar hybrid System with the same sizes. The wind levelized cost of Energy is $0.149/kWh, which is more expensive than the Solar Energy of $0.0637/kWh. The Energy cost of the hybrid System is dominated by battery and wind turbine expenses.

  • Storage tank models
    1995
    Co-Authors: B.j. Newton, M. Schmid, John W. Mitchell, William A. Beckman
    Abstract:

    In a Solar Energy System, several methods have been used to model the behavior of the storage tank. One commonly used method is a multinode approach, which divides the tank into isothermal, horizontal layers and solves Energy balance equations on each node. This paper describes some features of the multinode tank model that make it more accurate and versatile than previous models. Methods for modeling an internal, submersed heat exchanger are addressed, as well as methods of solving the Energy balance on each node. The two solution methods of the Energy balance discussed are an ``uncoupled analytical`` solution, and a modified Euler finite difference solution. Although the analytical solution is somewhat faster, it can lose accuracy when the tank contains auxiliary heaters that cycle on and off. The modified Euler solution takes small time steps and therefore tracks the temperature as the auxiliary heaters cycle on and off.
