Objective
Over the last few years, the thermal solar market, principally for supplying do mestic hot water, has grown considerably. However, there has been very little p rogress in the performance of the system controls and monitoring equipment. A small number of measurement points can provide sufficient information for man aging a complete domestic hot water system (including both the solar and the au xiliary energy supply), verifying the working order and the performance, as wel l as detecting eventual anomalies and determining the cause. The system cont rol and monitoring equipment that is used at present, particularly for installa tions with Guaranteed Solar Results (GRS), is limited in scope: the control and monitoring functions are separated, the auxiliary heating supply is controlled independently with respect to the solar part of the installation, an exclusive telephone line is required, both the cost of the equipment and the running cos ts are high, ... The present project concerns the development of an advanced control and monitoring system capable of performing the following basic functi ons: - managing both the solar and the auxiliary energy parts of the installat ion at the same time, adapting the energy supply to the needs with respect to t he hot water consumption and the solar energy available; - monitoring the work ing order of the complete domestic hot water system, detecting and signalling a nomalies very quickly, supplying the user with basic information concerning the installation (present state, daily and monthly balance sheets, graphic display , ...); - reducing the cost of monitoring the installation, with respect to bo th the investment (lowering the cost of the equipment, eliminating duplicated c omponents, ...) and running costs (data transmission by Internet, automatic dat a processing, ...). This new system will make it possible to monitor an inst allation permanently throughout it's lifetime, improve the service offered and lead the way to new financing methods and energy sales.
