Title: A Classification Scheme for the Common Passive and Hybrid Heating and Cooling Systems
Abstract: and more than 7,000 of them have been disseminated. (3) The SAT program has published 30 technical reports and papers during FY79. (4) A comprehensive study of the effects of wind transients and of the control strategy on energy capture by Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) has been initiated in FY79. Initial development of a real time analysis tool for WECS has been completed. An analysis of sampling-induced errors has been completed, which further demonstrates the need for such a tool. (5) The following Management Plans have been prepared: a SAT Management Plan, a Draft SAT Program Plan, a Draft Integrated System and Validation Plan, and a Draft Plan for Analysis and Design Method Development. (6) The utility of a novel solar system diagnostic tool (thermography) has been demonstrated. (7) Detailed and simplified simulation models which predict solar pond performance have been developed. Good correlation with initial simple experiments has been obtained. (8) Novel stratified solar pond concepts using salts or membranes have evolved during FY79. Cost-effective applications for district heating have been predicted, and five publications have resulted. (9) Validation of analysis methods has been given definition and direction by SAT efforts in FY79. Previous concepts have been assessed and reevaluated, and a new approach supported by simplified experiments has been proposed by SAT. (10) Technical management of DOE contracts in the SAT program was transferred to SERI. Statements-of-Work were developed for three new DOE contracts, and four procurement packages were developed for SERI-issued subcontracts. (11) Forty-eight preliminary and formal proposals for DOE were reviewed by SERI. (12) More than 1000 user technical inquiries on the use of F-Chart and SOLCOST have been answered.
