Solar and heat pump systems, analysis of several cases in Russia

摘要

Russia has a few renewable energy facilities in the buildings. In the buildings, the main source of the energy is provided by Russian fossil fuel resources. Based on the EU experience, Russia has started own research activity in the field of renewable energies in order to reduce the energy consumption. The combination of solar thermal with heat pump systems (SHP) is one of the promising systems that can provide the renewable energy in extreme weather conditions. Solar heating with a heat pump system for buildings has been designed to achieve different values of the fraction of a primary energy saving using the Flat Plate Collectors (FPC) for Solar Thermal (ST) and other supply energies like solar photovoltaic (PV) or wind technology, and having the higher efficiency of the system with net zero energy in thermal production.
