Abstract:The utilization of a hybrid energy system (combined solar water heater (SWH) and an air source heat pump (ASHP) water heater) can result in over 80% reduction in the electrical energy consumed as the system is capable to operate with an energy factor of above 4.0. A major challenge is to develop credible methodology or mathematical model to predict energy savings. The research focused on the design and installation of a hybrid energy system and a data acquisition system to monitor its performance. The average … Show more
