Abstract:

Interest in renewable energy sources is growing when economic values such as air pollution, climate change and external dependency on the environment are considered in the process of depletion of fossil fuels. Despite of energy supply security ensuring thanks to availability of renewable energy resources, they can not respond instantly. Therefore they are used together with non-polluting or electricity sources such as electricity. In this study, the number of planar solar collectors was changed between 2 and 10, and the coverage ratio of the solar energy in the heating system, coefficient of the performance and the performance factor of the system were examined via POLYSUN simulation program.
