Wind And Solar Residential Heating Systems. Energy And Economics Study, Ghazi Darkazalli, John G. Mcgowan Jan 1977

Wind And Solar Residential Heating Systems. Energy And Economics Study, Ghazi Darkazalli, John G. Mcgowan

Wind Energy Center Reports

This work is primarily concerned with the analytical design of wind space and water heating systems for residences. A development of a digital computer based methodology to calculate system performance and costs is presented. In addition to wind powered systems, solar, and combined wind and solar systems are considered in detail. The analysis i s based on two separate computer programs: An energy program that determines system performance as a function of subcomponent parameters and auxiliary energy requirements, and an economics program that calculates present and future (mass produced) costs of the wind and/or solar components and system. Complete details …


Instrumental And Initial Experimental Testing Of Solar Habitat I, L. S. Socha, John G. Mcgowan Jan 1977

Instrumental And Initial Experimental Testing Of Solar Habitat I, L. S. Socha, John G. Mcgowan

Wind Energy Center Reports

This report presents a description of the analytical and experimental procedures used to determine the performance of all subsystems and models for Solar Habitat I. It includes a description of the instrumentation necessary for evaluating all subsystems and models and the corresponding test methods used. Experimental test data is presented and compared with the results based on previously developed analytical models.
