โฆ Synopsis
Three different optimization procedures, which are expected to improve the performance of large solar thermal systems, are described in this paper. The first procedure concerns the planning phase of the system. The second one considers its operation and should be carried out after about one year of data collecting. The third one examines the daily performance considering predictions of weather and hot water consumption and the actual temperature level in the buffer store. For all three optimization steps the feasibility and the energetic potential have been investigated. For these studies validated system models of two solar domestic hot water systems in Germany have been implemented in TRNSYS. In combination with the simulations, both classical algorithms and Evolutionary Algorithms have been applied for the optimization procedures.

Since 1995, two large solar thermal systems (1200 and 2400 m ) have been realized in The Netherlands for industrial purposes. It is expected that large solar systems will be used more often in the coming years. For that reason and for the benefit of successful solar projects, important practical exp
An investigation of the thermal stability of large area saltpan solar ponds under different climatic conditions is presented. The study focuses on time taken by the pond to reach its stable conditions with heavy rainfall and the effect of wind-mixing process for the stability of the pond. Investigat
