Titel
The self-sufficient solar house. Remarkable simulation results
Abstract
Computer simulations were a major design tool during the planning phase of the self-sufficient solar house, a project carried out by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Freiburg, Germany. The simulation program TRNSYS (Klein, 1988) was used to model and simulate the complex energy supply system of the house that includes photovoltaics, lead/acid batteries, a long-term hydrogen storage with electrolyzer and fuel cell, inverters, controls and transparent insulation. The paper describes remarkable results of the simulation of the selfsufficient solar house.
