На английском языке. A report within IEA Heating and Cooling
Program – Task 7, 1983, 246 pages.
This report summarizes the work carried out in Sub-Task 1(a), Systems Studies and Optimization and Sub-Task 11(a), MINSUN Enhancements, of Task VII, Central Solar Heating Plants with Seasonal Storage (CSHPSS), of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Program.
The objectives of these Sub-Tasks were:
to develop procedures and analytic tools for studying system feasibility and for evaluation, and
to recommend specific systems analysis procedures and tools for use in Sub-Task 1(e), Site-Specific Preliminary Design, and Sub-Task 11(b), Evaluation of Systems Concepts, of Task VII.
The approach adopted was to select, modify and further develop two analytic tools as design aids for CSHPSS and to examine the appropriateness of these tools by undertaking application case studies.
The principal analytic tool is the MINSUN Program for simulation and optimization of CSHPSS.
This report presents an overview of the MINSUN set of programs and its application in the analysis of CSHPSS. It also provides detailed descriptions of what input parameters must be defined by the user and how to interpret the program output and results. Information is provided on the thermal simulation and economic analysis aspects of the program such that the user may make minor modifications in order to represent a CSHPSS configuration or control strategy that is not readily modelled by the existing options within MINSUN.
Sample program input and output formats and data sets are presented in the appendices.
