Abstract
Abstract – An optimization method is proposed to size a compact solar domestic hot water system (CSDHWS) for low-income families with multiple hot water load profiles. The Life Cycle Savings (LCS) optimization is carried out using the Transient Simulation Program (TRNSYS) with the Generic Optimization Program (GenOpt) for Florianópolis (27.6S, 48.5W), Brazil. A total of seven variables are simultaneously optimized. Results can be used to locally optimize CSDHWS’s based on meteorological data. The proposed optimization method is an effective measure to reduce peak demand as well as total energy consumption.
