The simultaneous optimal mathematical model is established. This method can be practically used in the integration of large-scale heat exchanger networks, not only to synthesize automatically but also to satisfy the requirement of struc-tural controllability with more objective human intervention.展开更多

Experiments were carded out on an active solar energy demonstration system （ET 200）. Commercial glass pane of 3 mm thick having the same dimensions as that of the apparatus was placed above the collector at a distance of 2 cm, 4 cm and 6 cm. Tests were done with and without the added glass. Experiments were performed for double glazing with two positions of the light meter. In one position, it was placed in the middle of the collector surface. While, in the other one, the light meter was placed in the middle of the added glass. To study the effect of double glazing on the performance of the solar collector ET 200, the correct position of the light meter was to place it exactly in the middle of the additional pane under the lamp. Double glazing does not enhance the performance of the solar collector because of the high resistance of the system glass air glass. The efficiency of double glazing solar collector decreases with the increasing the distance of the two separated glasses.展开更多

RETScreen Plus is a freely available software tool developed by the Canadian Government which can be used to develop energy baselines of clean energy technologies. Using curve-fitting and statistical methods like CUSUM, the software can combine actual energy performance with near real time weather information from NASA. We developed a method to simulate the performance of a GSHP （ground source heat pump）. The three distinct energy zones involve heating, no-energy, and cooling. RETScreen Plus methodology is used to develop curve fits for each distinct zone as it builds a correlation with NASA satellite data. The model then factors the impact of ICT （information and control technologies） as a means to improve and lower the building＇s energy consumption. Two values of COP （coefficient of performance） are used--the first is a standard ICT COP, while the second is an improved ICT COP with a smart controller. This methodology can then be expanded to incorporate current and future smart meter technologies, time of use rates, energy price signals, demand response and electricity storage options. In summary, this methodology enables a building owner or energy conservation official to quickly and accurately determine the baseline energy for a building and the potential impacts of smart ICT technologies, especially for buildings equipped with GSHP technologies.展开更多
