The Use of Alternative Energy Sources for the Operation of Engineering Systems of Detached Consumers

Abstract

The operation of many of the engineering systems that are necessary for the functioning of a detached residential building depends on specific sources of alternative energy, the use of which can significantly reduce the consumption of traditional fossil energy resources. A review of scientific works devoted to the operation of engineering systems using alternative energy sources is given. Several schemes of power equipment have been developed to obtain thermal and electrical energy supplied to isolated consumers. When designing a fixed technical solar system using solar radiation for operation, the locations of all power equipment, the solar receiver pitch on the roof of the building and the values of its optimal angle of inclination to the horizon were determined. A scheme of a small transportable hydroelectric power plant has been developed, which generates electric energy using the pressure created by the flow of water. A thermal refrigeration unit is designed, which uses the heat of the air removed from the animal stall to heat the heated medium.
