Modélisation, simulation et analyse du comportement d’un capteur solaire plan à eau pour différents sites en ALGERIE.

Abstract

Solar energy is growing rapidly all over the world, and Algeria is finally moving into the movement, which pushes us to know the real possibilities of use of solar energy in the tertiary sector, the collective residential, the industry in our country. This thesis is a contribution to the study of a planar thermodynamic solar collector with a circulation of water representing the coolant intended to transfer the heat recovered in the absorber for different uses. Our work consists in the modeling, the simulation and the analysis of the behavior of the sensor under the effect of various parameters. According to the parameters of the various sites in Algeria (see the ambient temperature, the angle of inclination of the sensor, and the latitude of the places), the temperatures of the various components of the sensor, the incident radiation, as well as the yield, are calculated and simulated using a program PSPSS (Program of Simulation of a Planar Solar Sensor) under the environment MATLAB, their gaits are given in the form of graphs reflecting the different variations. Months and days of calculations are taken in a way to see their direct impacts on the operation and performance of the sensor. The results obtained show that this system is profitable for the studied sites, and encourages to go further for the development of this branch of energy and to ensure autonomy vis-à-vis fossil fuels.
