Abstract

Abstract >> The monthly-average meteorological data, in particular, the monthly average daily terrestrial horizontal insolation are required for designing solar thermal energy systems. In this paper, the dynamic thermal performanceof a flat plate solar collector system is numerically investigated through a year from the monthly average insolationdata in Seoul. For a specified data set of solar collector system, the dynamic behaviors of total solar radiationon the tilted collector surfaces, heat loss from the collector system, useful energy and collector efficiency are analyzed from January to December by a mathematical simulation model. In addition, the monthly average daily total solar radiation, useful energy, and daily collector efficiencies through a year are estimated. The simulatedresults show that the average total radiation is highest in March and the useful energy is highest in October, whilethe total radiation and the collector efficiency are lowest in July.
