In this study, an analysis was performed on the performance of the solar water heating system with geo-thermal heat pump for a detached house. This system has a flat plate solar collector ($8\;m^2$) and a 3 RT heat pump. The heat pump acts as an auxiliary heater of the solar water heating system. These systems were installed at four individual houses with the same area of $100\;m^2$. The monitoring results for one year are as follows. (1) The average daily operating time of the solar system appeared to be 313 minutes in spring (intermediate season), and 135 minutes and 76 minutes in winter and summer respectively. The reason for the short operating time in summer is the high storage temperature due to low water heating load. The high storage temperature is caused by a decrease in collecting efficiency as well as by overheating. (2) The geothermal heat pump as an auxiliary heater mainly operates on days of poor insolation during the winter season. (3) Despite controlling for total house area, hot water consumption varies greatly according to the number of people in the family, hot water usage habits, etc. (4) The yearly solar fraction was 69.8 to 91.5 percent, which exceeds the maximum value of 80% as recommended by ASHRAE. So the solar collector area of $8\;m^2$ appeared to be somewhat greater for the house with an area of $100\;m^2$. (5) The observed annual efficiency of solar systems was relatively low at 13.5 to 23.6%, which was analyzed to be due to the decrease in thermal efficiency and the overheating caused by a high solar fraction.

태양열은 지구에서 가장 풍부한 재생에너지 중의 하나이지만, 일반적으로 태양열이 풍부한 계절과 열부하가 큰 계절이 서로 달라 사용에 제한이 있다. 유럽과 캐나다에서는 하절기의 풍부한 태양열을 저장하고 그 열을 동절기 난방부하에 활용하여 에너지를 절감하는 태양열 계간축열시스템을 활용하고 있다. 최근 물탱크방식 및 지중축열방식의 태양열 계간축열시스템이 국내에 소개되어 실증연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 연간 2,164 GJ의 난방부하를 가진 경기도 화성시의 유리온실 1개동에 $2,000m^2$의 평판형 태양열 집열기, $20,000m^2$의 지중 계간축열조를 사용하고 단기축열조를 사용하지 않는 보어홀 방식의 태양열 지중 계간축열시스템을 모델링하여, 운전제어조건에 따른 태양열 이용률을 평가하였다. 시간에 따른 태양열 지중 계간축열시스템의 동적성능예측을 위하여 TRNSYS 18 프로그램을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 제안한 태양열 지중 계간축열시스템은 태양열 집열과 지중 계간축열조 방열에 각각 차온 제어 하였을 때, 5년간 평균 약 60%의 태양열 이용률을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 시스템은 태양열 지중 계간축열시스템의 구성과 제어방법을 단순화하고 성능을 확보하였다.

This study was to predict subcooled void fraction in water under low velocity ($0.03{\sim}0.5m/s$) and low pressure. ($1.53Kg/cm^2$ a) The experiments were done to determine void fraction in a uniformly heated annular test section. Some models from the literature were compared to the experimental results, but none gave consistently good predictions. A method using an empirical factor was developed to predict the void fraction. This model was applied to the test results and found to be good for some ranges of flow velocities.

The purpose of this study is to present the simulation results and an overview of the performance assessment of a solar heating & cooling system by means of the $200m^2$ evacuated tube solar collector. The simulation was carried out using the thermal simulation code TRNSYS with new model of a single-effect LiBr/$H_{2}O$ absorption chiller developed by this study. The calculation was performed for yearly long-term thermal performance and for two design factors: the solar hot water storage tank and the cold water storage tank. As a result, it was anticipated that the yearly mean system efficiency is 46.7% and the solar fraction for the heating, cooling and hot water supply are about 84.4 %, 41.7% and 72.4%, respectively.

This paper presents a method. for estimating the useful output of solar heating sys-terns. Heating load calculations, climatic data and various conditions are used in this procedure to estimate the fraction of the monthly heating load supplied by solar energy for a particular system the design procedure presented in this paper referred to the f-chart method. The results of this study are as follows; 1) The collected energy is not rised lineary to collector area. 2) If the heating area has equivalent solar collector area, the solar energy utilization for space heating is over 90%. 3) Transmittance- absorptance product for radiation at normal incidence, (${\tau}{\alpha}$)/(${\tau}{\alpha}$)n, during most of the heating season is 0.92 for a two-cover collector. 4) Orientation of the collector has little effect on the annual performance of solar heating system within the $15^{\circ}$.

Computer simulation of buildings and solar energy systems is being used increasingly in energy assessments and design. For the six locations (Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon, Deagu, Gwangju and Busan) in South Korea where the global hourly solar irradiation (GHSI) is currently measured, GHSI was calculated using a comparatively simple cloud cover radiation model (CRM) and sunshine fraction radiation model (SFRM). The result was that the measured and calculated values of GHSI were similar for the six regions. Results of cloud cover and sunshine fraction models have been compared with the measured data using the coefficient of determination (R2), root-mean-square error (RMSE) and mean bias error (MBE). The strength of correlation R2 varied within similar ranges: 0.886-0.914 for CRM and 0.908-0.934 for SFRM. Average MBE for the CRM and SFRM were 6.67 and 14.02 W/m2, respectively, and average RMSE 104.36 and 92.15 W/m2. This showed that SFRM was slightly accurate and used many regions as compared to CRM for prediction of GHSI.

Recently, the nanofluid which is stably dispersing or suspending of nanoparticles in the conventional heat transfer fluids (HTF) such as water and ethylene glycol has attracted significant interests as a solar thermal energy absorbing medium because they have excellent absorption and thermophysical properties compared to the typical HTF. In the present study, the efficiency of nanofluid-based flat-plate solar collector is analytically evaluated using the theoretical model of energy balance equation. The theoretical model considers the incoming solar radiation as a volumetric heat generation and the water-based single wall carbon nanohorn(SWCNH) nanofluid is used as a solar energy absorbing medium. Finally, the efficiency of nanofluid-based collector is calculated according to the volume fraction of SWCNH using the analytical solution.

In the present study, feasibility investigation on the solar assisted hot water supply system for apartment houses was carried out by the review of service facility and heat load pattern. Also analysis and experiment of the small sized system model were performed. This hybrid system are consists of solar collector, heat storage tank, controller, and gas boiler using LPG as a secondary heat source. The analytical results showed a good agreement with experimental data. We found that this hybrid system could reduce the energy cost by 30% for hot water compared to typical boiler system in the apartment houses. Also we showed that this model could be used for the energy and economic analysis of the hybrid system.

본 연구에서는 SOI 구조를 이용한 50$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두계의 규소 태양전지의 이용 가능성과 제한사항을 제시하기 위하여, interdigitated contact을 이용한 전극을 형성하도록 전지를 설계한 후 단계별 사진공정을 통해 태양전지를 제조하였다. Bonded SOI wafer를 이용하여 제조된 50$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 결정질 규소 태양전지의 효율은 전극간격이 1100$\mu\textrm{m}$과 base width가 35$\mu\textrm{m}$인 경우에서 11.5%로 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 실험결과로부터 전면전극을 이용한 태양전지의 구조는 power loss를 최소화하는 최적의 base fraction을 적용하는 것이 필요하며, 전지의 효율은 fill factor에 강한 의존성을 나타내기 때문에 fill factor loss를 최소화하는 설계조건이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

Solar energy is attenuated by absorbing gases (ozone, aerosol, water vapour and mixed gas) and cloud in the atmosphere. And these are measured with solar instruments (pyranometer, phyheliometer). However, solar energy is insufficient to represent detailed energy distribution, because the distributions of instruments are limited on spatial. If input data of solar radiation model is accurate, the solar energy reaches at the surface can be calculated accurately. Recently a variety of satellite measurements are available to TERA/AQUA (MODIS), AURA (OMI) and geostationary satellites (GMS-5, GOES-9, MTSAT-1R, MTSAT-2 and COMS). Input data of solar radiation model can be used aerosols and surface albedo of MODIS, total ozone amount of OMI and cloud fraction of meteorological geostationary satellite. The solar energy reaches to the surface is calculated hourly by solar radiation model and those are accumulated monthly and annual. And these results are verified the spatial distribution and validated with ground observations.
