| Summary | This paper discusses SERI's analysis and comparison of the output of the solar energy section of DOE-2 called Component Based Simulator (CBS) and TRNSYS. SERI researchers investigated the adequacy and sensitivity of CBS when various active solar energy collectors and systems were interfaced with a standard space heating system. The analysis by SERI included both single-and double-glazed colletors with selectively and nonselectively coated absorbing surfaces located in four different environments. The results of the study show the agreement between the two programs to be remarkably similar. Graphs are presented to illustrate the minor differences in annual average collector efficiency and annual average part solar as well as the thermal load and insolation levels. |
