Consumption Profile as a Base for Designing Res Using Simulation Tools

Abstract

Nowadays, projecting of the renewable energy sources (RES) through simulation program is the very popular. In case usage RES in systems with stable consumption the simulations are sufficiently the exact. The problem arises, when it is necessary to simulate the supply from an unpredictable energy source to a system with unstable or unknown consumption. In particular, in residential buildings, it is very important to know the detailed consumption profile of heat and hot water consumers in the proper design of the RES. Underestimating its importance may lead to significant financial losses of the investor, user of RES technology.
