Sun energy in Indonesia is 5Kwh/m2/day average per year. This alternative energy can be convert to solar thermal up to 80% efficiency, the percentage is highly significant compare to electric conversion that only has 20%. To provide any process requirement for heating, an empirical research of reflective array accumulator has been done, so that a design simulation for the accumulator has to be held. The accumulator can be used as a heat energy supplier for drying, egg hatching, food oven and other requirement. The sun energy trapping method is a reflective array. This method aims to maximize the energy captured and stored in an accumulator and has to be maintained for 24 hours by opening and closing the array. This simulator will calculated and control some input such as water mass, accumulator temperature, environment temperature, humidity and sun intensity. The array control performance to watch diffuse solar light intensity by time. The result of the simulation will give absorption storage capability, insulation capability to watch sun energy performance per day. It is expected that with the simulation, it can simplify the design of the accumulator and improve the efficiency of heat energy storage. The absorption capability perform 72%.

This article presents a management model and control of energy efficiency in hotels adapted to the consumption patterns that ensure the comfort requirements of customers and integrated into the environment of an intelligent tourist complex. The analysis of the hot water system (DHW) of two hotels in the Canary Islands (Spain) in relation to their occupation, yields a solution based on renewable energies using high temperature heat pumps with aerothermal dissipation and supported by boilers of existing LPG propane. The control by programmable automatons (PLC) integrated in a system of control and acquisition of data (SCADA) optimizes the systems to maintain the maximum accumulated energy during the periods of cheapest electric tariff, by means of a system of opening and closing of hydraulic Valves that It manages to adjust the demand of DHW consumption to achieve the highest energy accumulation during the hours with the cheapest electricity tariff. The result after two and a half years of activity registration is a faster return on investment due to the optimized energy management of the system, through the control of operating hours adjusted to the needs of customers and the hourly rate. It has also been predicted that during the estimated 12 years of the system will have saved more than € 1,179,737 and thermal 8,780,005 kWh in a hotel 1 and € 1,315,104 and thermal 9,522,301 kWh in the hotel 2. This model shown can be seen how economically and energetically very efficient.

Diesel engines is generally used for industrial and agricultural machines. Few people care about the engine temperature so it is forced to reach temperature of 100oC, which causes overheating of the diesel engine and has an impact on the performance itself. This also uses a hopper cooling system which is certainly not effective, because it's necessary to see that the water in the reservoir is still or not, also not equipped with an engine temperature display so it's difficult to ascertain the temperature inside. This study aims to monitor and control the temperature of cooling water. Operation of temperature control uses a telecontrol system that is connected to network (Internet of Things) so diesel temperature control can be done remotely. Monitoring of temperature and water level in the reserve tank using Web Mobile. In addition, there is a temperature sensor that is used to measure the temperature of the cooling water so that users can monitor the temperature of the diesel engine on Web Mobile. The test results obtained, the temperature sensor has an average temperature reading error of 0.031004%. Diesel engines with controlled solenoid valve cooling systems can produce ideal temperatures compared to when the solenoid valve is open (using the radiator continuously) or when the solenoid valve is Closed (without using a radiator). When the solenoid is controlled the engine temperature can be ideal because the solenoid valve opening and closing system has the lowest temperature of 56.34oC and the highest temperature of only 80.85oC.

To strengthen the heat and mass transfer capacity and improve the temperature regulation rate, potential storage is taken as the research object in this research to study the heat energy storage of the battery in the low temperature environment. Lattice Boltzmann method is adopted to study the heat energy storage influence mechanism of the temperature regulation system of the low temperature phase-change materials. In addition, the influence of different physical parameters (thermal conductivity and latent heat of phase change) on the thermal insulation of the system in the process of temperature control is revealed. The results show that the mechanism of heat and mass transfer in the process of heat storage and temperature control is related to the different physical properties of phase change materials. The decrease of thermal conductivity and the increase of latent heat of phase change materials will greatly increase the effect of heat energy storage. Therefore, under the action of phase change latent heat, phase change material can effectively extend the holding time of the battery in the low temperature environment.

Wind power and solar energy power are clean, abundant and renewable. Wind power and photovoltaic power are important alternative energy in the world, which will contribute to adjusting energy structures and protecting environments. The genetic algorithm has the characteristics of automatic optimization and approaches the simulate stuff illimitably. Also, there has no use for accurate model on questions, which is very suitable in the non-linear system. The wind/photovoltaic hybrid systems consist with wind power generation units, photovoltaic matrix, storage battery, diesel engine and data collection and control. This paper optimized the wind/photovoltaic hybrid system using genetic algorithm. The result showed the efficiency of this algorithm in the design of this kind of non-linear system. On the other hand, this hybrid system is strongly non-linear when is running. Finally, abundant operating expenses and maintains expenses will be saved by using genetic algorithm in its dynamic management according to the change of load, wind power and irradiation.

Direct Attachment

Photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) systems integrate photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies into one single system with dual production of electricity and heat energy. A typical arrangement is the direct attachment of PV modules on to a solar thermal collector surface. For a given collector surface area, the overall system energy performance is expected higher than the conventional “side-by-side” PV and solar thermal systems. In the development of PV/T collector technology using water as the coolant, the most common design follows the sheet-and-tube thermal absorber concept. Fin performance of the thermal absorber has been identified as one important factor that affects much the overall energy performance of the collector. Accordingly, an aluminum-alloy flat-box type PV/T collector prototype was constructed and tested. Our test results indicate that a high combined thermal and electrical efficiency can be achieved. The primary-energy-saving efficiency for daily exposure approaches 65% at zero reduced temperature operation. With a simple and handy design, the product is considered to be very suitable for domestic application.
