The storage of the excess heat in greenhouses for sunny days in a cold season is advantageous, in view of increasing concerns over usage of fossil fuel. Thermal storage plays a vital role in solar devices particularly in greenhouses to improve its performance because of the intermittent nature of solar energy.
For the heating purpose, they utilise direct combustion of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, water heaters and unit heaters for maintaining the temperatures necessary to grow plants in the colder months. However, solar greenhouses are designed to utilise solar energy for both heating and lighting.
According to the literature review, there is a lack of hourly-based operation optimization for a solar energy system with long-term heat storage to cover greenhouse energy demand. Operating the solar energy system hourly for an entire year is crucial since the greenhouse heating load has a significant seasonal effect.
An economic evaluation is necessary for the greenhouse with thermal energy storage systems, to determine if the extra capital cost of additional infrastructure is definitely outweighed by additional energy conserving. Then, the applicability, suitability and impacts generated by the systems must be addressed at the ecological and social levels.
Solar energy can be used to decARBONIZE agricultural greenhouses by supplying heating demand*. Long-term heat storage is implemented to compensate for the mismatch between heating load and solar thermal energy availability. The main objective of the study is to optimize decarbonization-cost trade-offs in this framework.
