1 1 Solar Energy Technologies ME 430 Queen s University The Solar Energy Resource Varies over day and year, (i.e., intermittent) Generally non-dispatchable Ottawa average for year ~4 kwh/m 2 per day e.g., for a 60 m 2 roof we have 240 kwh/day or 7200 kwh/month
2 2 The Solar Energy Resource The Solar Energy Spectrum Sun angles and the position of the sun relative to a receiving surface

4 4 Solar Energy Capture Passive solar: Direct gain high performance fenestration Daylighting Good architecture and energy conservation Photovoltaics: the production of electricity Grid connected or stand alone Building integrated PV Solar Thermal: space and water heating and cooling SDHW and Combi-systems Hybrid Systems, e.g., PVT, combined space and hot water heating, cooling and heating systems Passive Systems
5 5 Passive solar Direct gain of solar energy through windows or in attached sun-spaces for space heating high performance fenestration and/or transparent insulation application of thermal mass for storage and to reduce overheating can include natural ventilation design for maximization of natural Daylighting Apply design principles to increase heat gain and reduce cooling loads Good architecture and energy conservation! Passive Solar Heating Good architecture? The judicious use of south glazing coupled with appropriate shading and thermal mass. Summer Winter

23 Howard Johnson Hotel in Kingston 23
24 24 In August 2005, the Howard Johnson Kingston hotel installed a 20 panel solar hot water system. The system was installed for shower use and heated swimming pool. This system reduces GHG emissions by approximately 19 tonnes per year. In addition, Howard Johnson Kingston saves roughly $4650 each year in water heating costs. Solar System for Indoor Swimming Pool Solar system installed on roof of Okotoks community centre

31 31 Solar Collection the solar thermal collection system consists of 800 flat plate solar panels organized into four rows mounted on the detached garages behind the homes (used for space heating commercial system) two flat plate solar collectors are also placed on the roof of the house for domestic hot water Source: Air-Handler Unit raising the temperature on the thermostat opens an automatic valve that allows hot water to flow from the district heating loop through the heat exchanger in the air-handler unit a fan blows air across the hot coil, heating the air and distributing it throughout the home in high volume, low velocity ductwork the heat recovery ventilator exhausts warm, moist, stale air from within the home's wet rooms to the outside, and preheats cool, fresh incoming air Source:
32 32 District Heating System there are four individual home-run loops off a manifold in the Energy Centre plastic, insulated, underground pipe is used to distribute heated water from the community s Energy Centre back to the homes Source: The Energy Center the energy center houses the short-term heat storage tanks and most of the mechanical equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, and controls the solar collector loop, the district heating loop, and the borehole thermal energy storage loop pass through the Energy Centre Source:
33 33 Borehole Thermal Energy Storage the pipes run through a collection of 144 holes that stretch 37 m below the ground and cover an area 35 m in diameter. a plastic pipe with a U bend at the bottom is inserted down the borehole Source: Energy Consumption Comparison Source:
