Abstract

This paper analyses the environmental problems arising from the use of traditional energy resources for the production of electricity and heat . The advantages of replacing conventional energy resources and shifting to wind and solar energy technologies are explained. The possibilities of the combined use of solar and wind energy to provide an average family of 5 people with hot water and heating are explored. Experimental results were obtained from full-scale tests under prevailing conditions at Baku . Solar- wind hybrid systems for heating and hot water were designed and developed at the Institute of Radiation Problems of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences. The paper also examines the possibility of supplying a family of 5 people with hot water produced by solar energy year-round and presents the results of the calculation of the energy balance of such facility .

Highlights

In recent years, environmental conditions have become much worse as a result of technogenic and anthropogenic processes taking place in the world
A continuous and reliable way of providing energy to consumers through the use of large surface flat-plated solar collectors in winter is not productive in spring and summers seasons, because only 10−15% of the thermal energy produced is used in place while the rest, which could be converted into other energy forms, is lost in an inefficient manner
It is commonly known that the energy needs of consumers for hot water and heating can currently be satisfied by flat-plate solar collectors (FSC) and pipelike collectors that utilise solar radiation and do not require monitoring systems when operated

Summary

Introduction

Environmental conditions have become much worse as a result of technogenic and anthropogenic processes taking place in the world. A continuous and reliable way of providing energy to consumers through the use of large surface flat-plated solar collectors in winter is not productive in spring and summers seasons, because only 10−15% of the thermal energy produced is used in place while the rest, which could be converted into other energy forms, is lost in an inefficient manner. In this case, FSCs are operating at a very critical temperature, which is harmful for inner pipes of collectors and can result in premature failure. To provide consumers with a continuous hot water supply all year round and to ensure a sustainable heating season, solar thermal power plants are used in combination with alternative
