Abstract

As a viable technology in the heating systems for building, renewable energy systems have received a lot of attention. However, renewable energy system's performance depends on environmental conditions and might be gradually reduced by extensive and long-term activity. Underground heat storage is one of the most commonly used methods of energy systems and some approaches have been proposed and carried out to reduce the energy consumption of building heating systems. However, not all of the proposed approaches are effective in terms of efficiency and performance. Therefore, this paper is to study and analyze the effectiveness of combining the Solar Heating system (SHS) with Ground Source Heat Pump System (GSHPS) to improve the performance of the heating system and increase heating transfer. TRNSYS simulation software is used to perform the simulation. The simulation is carried out to study the solar heating system and the solar heating system combined with underground storage. The obtained results show that the developed heating system with underground storage is more efficient and better in performance than using solar heating systems individually.
