| dc.description | This work presents a computational simulator created to estimate the
behavior of a greenhouse fitted with a solar-thermal collection system and an
auxiliary propane-butane (LPG) heating system. The simulator enables
parametric studies on the following variables: size and design of the
greenhouse, construction materials, crop, geographic location (climate) of the
site, type and number of solar collectors, thermal storage volume, and type of
temperature control. The simulator calculates the energy consumption in the
auxiliary heater needed to keep the temperature of the greenhouse within the
established limits. The simulator was developed using TRNSYS (Transient
Energy Systems Simulation Tool). For a given set of parametric values, the
program analyzes a year of operation and simulates the operation of the system
at 10-minute intervals. Energy expenditures are summed throughout the year of
operation, producing yearly totals that can be compared with the results from
different parametric combinations. We present an economic analysis that
considers a project life of 10 years, the cost of the solar collection system,
thermal storage, and auxiliary heater, as well as the cost of LPG and inflation.
Our analysis shows how to reach an optimal design of the heating system that
will maximize the operation profits | |
