The aim of the course on system integration is to show the interaction of different elements in a solar thermal system.

The topicsof the solar energy course include components, guidelines, characterization, analysis of applications, hydraulics, control systems, dimensioning and optimization, design exercise and an excursion to built examples. The different elements are solar collector, solar loop and its components, storage, auxiliary heater, building and space heating system, domestic hot water demand, the climate and the control system. The course should give insight in how to optimize these elements with respect to their function in the system. “Very good components can be put together to a very bad system”. In the computational thermal engineering lecture the following items will be addressed: • Overview on the finite difference method • Simulation approaches to transient heat conduction and heat transport including boundary conditions • Simulation of tubes, heat stores (Water and PCM materials) • Preprocessing, processing, postprocessing • General description of modules for a simulation • How to detect errors
