Abstract

In this paper presents results of solar assisted hybrid water heating system's control algorithm experimental research. Main purpose of research - prove the ability of energy harvesting by modifying control algorithm. The main problem of experiments with renewable sources of energy is absence of ability to control the main parameter - solar irradiance. The automated data collection based on control station Neutrino BMD was engaged for experimental research of control algorithm. During 365 days of data collection about 5 million data points was recorded. According to presented criteria only records of 76 days were selected for post experimental research. The post experimental analysis shows that optimization of control algorithm allows energy harvesting in hybrid water heating systems by sliding control parameters according to solar irradiance. Ill. 6, bibl. 9 (in English; abstracts in English and Lithuanian).
