Simulation of Solar Energy Storage System

Abstract:

The present study deals with the main parameters of a storage tank-collector system, the proposal system included a flat plate solar collector coupling by a storage unit to serve the energy requirement of small Libyan family (3-5 persons).The studied parameters included the selection of the storage size needed for a given collector area and a given load under Libyan climatic condition. These parameters include the appropriate location for inlet and outlet ports of the hot water in the storage tank.A mathematical simulation model was written based on the given parameters and the input data of Misurata city in libya the location (L=32.15 N, 15.15W) as a case study. The developed program was carried out in visual basic 6.The final results showed that a storage tank with a capacity of (125 Litters per square meters) is sufficient to cover the requirement of Libyan family (3-5 persons). Also,. Furthermore, the hot water from the collector should be entered the storage tank at the upper portion of the tank to satisfy for the previous enhancement.
