Performance Potential of Energy Savings Using Solar Energy In Heat Supply Systems for Buildings in the Primorsky Krai

The heat supply area is of the utmost interest being the priority spheres of solar plants appliance, because nowadays it is the most capacious consumer of traditional energy resources. For the main indicators of solar radiation - the inflow of direct and diffuse radiation, Primorye is not behind the recognized "solar" regions of the Russian Federation. Different types of solar collectors are available for use in heating systems of various buildings in the Primorsky Krai. A potential consumer must have information about the required surface area of the collectors and the cost-effectiveness of proposed investments in the energy saving measures. Based on the calculation of the required area for the solar collectors installation, their potential is defined in terms of substitution of the required heat consumption for buildings of different functions.
