Determination of operating parameters of accumulative electric heating systems

Abstract

The article presents the results of research aimed at determining the parameters and characteristics of storage heating systems, justifying the possibility of using heat accumulators to increase the efficient use of energy that is generated, including from renewable sources. The virtuality, frequency and significant dependence on natural conditions and climate of renewable energy sources, as well as the need to optimize their installed capacity, leads to the need to use energy storage installations. The presence of efficient energy batteries is a prerequisite for modern efficient energy and heat supply systems. The methodology of the work is based on our own theoretical and experimental studies, which provide practical recommendations for the arrangement of energy accumulators obtained using renewable heat sources. This is especially relevant for Ukraine during the period of active military operations on its territory, the destruction of traditional energy sources and a shortage of generating capacity. Recommendations have been developed for the design of heat accumulators for heating systems of residential and public buildings. Their effectiveness has been assessed under conditions of limited use of fossil fuels and the use of hybrid energy sources. Scientific and practical results of the work make it possible to carry out low-cost reconstruction of heating systems for the introduction of storage systems using electrical energy, the source of which is wind and solar energy. Such developments are becoming particularly relevant in Ukraine, taking into account the requirements for ensuring the stability and efficiency of infrastructure facilities in war conditions.
