Professor Robert Ifill, the Director of NPAC, has been, during the whole period, the coordinator of the Programme on the English side and Director of my NIPhil and Ph. D. studies. Professor Flill has made a great contribution to the materialisation of the Programme, from the conception to the elaboration of the final project document submitted to SIDA. During the implementation of the programme he paid visits to Maputo to guide me on all aspects linked with the research. flis contribution in the preparation of the present dissertation was of tremendous value. Professor Phil O'Keefe, the Director of ETC Foundation in the UK and member of NPAC, has been working for many years as adviser to the Southern Affican Development Community in many projects in the areas of energy and environment. He has been involved in the Programme since its inception. He gave me special guidance on the economic and social aspects of energy projects, a field which was completely new for me.

The absorber was tested for two different mass flow rates. This is an attempt to assess the potential of this collector as a component of solar cooker with heat storage, a prototype that has a potential to enable indirect and off-sun cooking. The prototype of a solar cooker under investigation is intended to be used in rural areas (in Mozambique) to satisfy the multiple domestic needs in thermal energy as part of a global effort to mitigate the consequences of one of the severe problems the world face today (desertification and deforestation), some of which are attributed to climate change. Thermal efficiency of the collector was estimated for the two mass flow rates.

Mozambique","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"Elsevier BV","grobid_abstract":"Solar thermal systems have been widely used to increase energy efficiency in residential sector, since it became one of the top priorities in many countries to mitigate the electricity shortage. Thus, for better deployment of solar thermal systems in the residential sector it is important to understand the household electricity consumption and energy usage for domestic hot water, though developing countries lack this type of accurate data. This work assesses a domestic hot water technology transition to solar thermal systems in the urban areas of developing countries, taking as case study Maputo city, in Mozambique. First, a survey was made to the domestic hot water needs, demand and usage, in 700 households, 28 neighbourhoods of Maputo, having identified the sources and technologies used to heat water and quantified the domestic hot water needs. Then, the impact on energy demand, cost and CO 2 emissions of domestic hot water technology change to solar thermal systems was modelled as well as the impact on electricity grid. The survey results point that the predominant energy sources used for domestic hot water in urban areas are electricity and biomass with nearly 46% and 41% shares, respectively. Further, results show that the domestic hot water technology used depends on household income, being the electric water heaters mostly used in households with relatively high-income. The technology transition to solar thermal systems results in a positive impact on the grid by reducing up to 65.7% the domestic hot water electricity demand and 78.7% of the CO 2 emissions, while the economic savings are up to 244 USD/household/year. However, peak load is expected to increase by 11%, suggesting the need for load management policy implementation.","publication_date":{"day":1,"month":7,"year":2020,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":109907297},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/112782859/Domestic_hot_water_technology_transition_for_solar_thermal_systems_An_assessment_for_the_urban_areas_of_Maputo_city_Mozambique","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-01-02T03:43:38.076-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":127830642,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":109907297,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109907297/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.jclepro.2020.12104320240102-1-e11ezm.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109907297/download_file?st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Domestic_hot_water_technology_transition.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109907297/j.jclepro.2020.12104320240102-1-e11ezm-libre.pdf?1704197180=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDomestic_hot_water_technology_transition.pdf\u0026Expires=1732778232\u0026Signature=AMqc5i~zJzSYCDJliA8wy9kieCT0uHZCuxkUxUVIcA8In~VX7OWKr0fvjpl5Q0Xnvt3YwBYOnZbgQXJHKz3BTJhKIyoS-KGPpqai2ZynlBXYyjVZMII~5yr0hQXJAYGeKKe1r3co1sSJ~cGAzsT1t03TvirVpChQbvUHT5LMCalgBSqZlFygIxFLbQDBzK4JwkjsyeqnOZdd28U2YtsQlGjvnqSj-8Re15Wx2~MELyFYH5L5G7~6CQFJjahIiANum3QhDB0p3kxswoT~KJXPniQaRA6dOxcQuJyDQV4iq03WJz~3QpT-Uv7R0THYGTe6wqyrjrGJdNvUDH1EsapPNw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Domestic_hot_water_technology_transition_for_solar_thermal_systems_An_assessment_for_the_urban_areas_of_Maputo_city_Mozambique","translated_slug":"","page_count":16,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":127830642,"first_name":"Boaventura","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Cuamba","page_name":"BoaventuraCuamba","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2019-09-23T23:10:46.199-07:00","display_name":"Boaventura Cuamba","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/BoaventuraCuamba"},"attachments":[{"id":109907297,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109907297/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.jclepro.2020.12104320240102-1-e11ezm.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109907297/download_file?st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Domestic_hot_water_technology_transition.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109907297/j.jclepro.2020.12104320240102-1-e11ezm-libre.pdf?1704197180=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDomestic_hot_water_technology_transition.pdf\u0026Expires=1732778232\u0026Signature=AMqc5i~zJzSYCDJliA8wy9kieCT0uHZCuxkUxUVIcA8In~VX7OWKr0fvjpl5Q0Xnvt3YwBYOnZbgQXJHKz3BTJhKIyoS-KGPpqai2ZynlBXYyjVZMII~5yr0hQXJAYGeKKe1r3co1sSJ~cGAzsT1t03TvirVpChQbvUHT5LMCalgBSqZlFygIxFLbQDBzK4JwkjsyeqnOZdd28U2YtsQlGjvnqSj-8Re15Wx2~MELyFYH5L5G7~6CQFJjahIiANum3QhDB0p3kxswoT~KJXPniQaRA6dOxcQuJyDQV4iq03WJz~3QpT-Uv7R0THYGTe6wqyrjrGJdNvUDH1EsapPNw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":55,"name":"Environmental Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Engineering"},{"id":402,"name":"Environmental Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Science"},{"id":1584,"name":"Cleaner Production","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cleaner_Production"},{"id":96825,"name":"Manufacturing Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Manufacturing_Engineering"},{"id":554780,"name":"Interdisciplinary Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Interdisciplinary_Engineering"}],"urls":[{"id":38081542,"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.121043"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Solar Thermal Systems (STS) have been widely used to increase energy efficiency in residential sector in many countries, and several models are being developed to improve their performance and deployment. However many of existing software tools somehow fail to provide more sensitivity analysis to different parameters of STS performance, given their wide applicability. In this paper, two dynamic approaches to model STS are discussed: a developed hourly model based on energy balance of the STS components, and the simulation tool Polysun. A sensitivity analysis is made to different domestic hot water demand profiles and tank sizes, using as case study, a typical 5-person family house in Maputo, Mozambique. The results show that the developed hourly model can be used to evaluate and size solar thermal systems, having similar results to Polysun. However, regarding the auxiliary heating, Polysun approach leads to a higher or lower electrical auxiliary heating, depending on the control layer, resulting in over-sizing or under-sizing of the system, given that it considers the temperatures stratification while the developed model considers the energy balance in the tank as a whole.","publication_date":{"day":1,"month":12,"year":2018,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":109907298},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/112782858/Comparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to_modelling_solar_thermal_systems_for_domestic_hot_water","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-01-02T03:43:37.651-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":127830642,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":109907298,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109907298/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.seta.2018.10.01220240102-1-wkqfw3.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109907298/download_file?st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Comparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109907298/j.seta.2018.10.01220240102-1-wkqfw3-libre.pdf?1704197197=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DComparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to.pdf\u0026Expires=1732778232\u0026Signature=bw-irlKvGmwfgnupSk7xtAGjeEbcXP0EwF2Sbc00vGP8yWUgRTmN9-hHatZxSMQM5hIzTa~-uhN~bu0u7425XFrT87JqK~H4z~zd54fgLT3GBL-jwBPpsuWsIDHqA3Mhj0LsZhFh6BU9DlipA83kjtbEwIj-86aweasrlMXf7kNYolcYiM9Fo8DXAyUqN3sYqSTKLCjxGbWia7mPR6PB9WfRvLHNS4MY3v2yJck~GUoIcgpSd6K1N4CuS63Pfhr0~GFwRjVQ0rNgaFUexsr3Xl-23VE8T4WMQAi2RdQ96QU4dwPLbNDKxyBYA0hpFtcVNPuZvPt-8Ujo0MGD4UpqgQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Comparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to_modelling_solar_thermal_systems_for_domestic_hot_water","translated_slug":"","page_count":12,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":127830642,"first_name":"Boaventura","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Cuamba","page_name":"BoaventuraCuamba","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2019-09-23T23:10:46.199-07:00","display_name":"Boaventura Cuamba","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/BoaventuraCuamba"},"attachments":[{"id":109907298,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109907298/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.seta.2018.10.01220240102-1-wkqfw3.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109907298/download_file?st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Comparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109907298/j.seta.2018.10.01220240102-1-wkqfw3-libre.pdf?1704197197=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DComparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to.pdf\u0026Expires=1732778232\u0026Signature=bw-irlKvGmwfgnupSk7xtAGjeEbcXP0EwF2Sbc00vGP8yWUgRTmN9-hHatZxSMQM5hIzTa~-uhN~bu0u7425XFrT87JqK~H4z~zd54fgLT3GBL-jwBPpsuWsIDHqA3Mhj0LsZhFh6BU9DlipA83kjtbEwIj-86aweasrlMXf7kNYolcYiM9Fo8DXAyUqN3sYqSTKLCjxGbWia7mPR6PB9WfRvLHNS4MY3v2yJck~GUoIcgpSd6K1N4CuS63Pfhr0~GFwRjVQ0rNgaFUexsr3Xl-23VE8T4WMQAi2RdQ96QU4dwPLbNDKxyBYA0hpFtcVNPuZvPt-8Ujo0MGD4UpqgQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":402,"name":"Environmental Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Science"},{"id":133295,"name":"Energy Balance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Energy_Balance"},{"id":174347,"name":"Thermal","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Thermal"},{"id":582376,"name":"Sizing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sizing"},{"id":1268642,"name":"Software Deployment","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Software_Deployment"}],"urls":[{"id":38081541,"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2018.10.012"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

The pumping plant has been installed in 1993 and a monitoring system integrated into it in 1994. The monitoring activities have been carried out during a period of six months, from 1st January to 30th June 1995, and had as a major objective to characterise the performance of the plant under the local environmental conditions. This characterisation comprised a detailed analysis of the performance of the plant&#39;s major components, namely the PV array, the inverter and the motor/pump unit.

Professor Robert Ifill, the Director of NPAC, has been, during the whole period, the coordinator of the Programme on the English side and Director of my NIPhil and Ph. D. studies. Professor Flill has made a great contribution to the materialisation of the Programme, from the conception to the elaboration of the final project document submitted to SIDA. During the implementation of the programme he paid visits to Maputo to guide me on all aspects linked with the research. flis contribution in the preparation of the present dissertation was of tremendous value. Professor Phil O'Keefe, the Director of ETC Foundation in the UK and member of NPAC, has been working for many years as adviser to the Southern Affican Development Community in many projects in the areas of energy and environment. He has been involved in the Programme since its inception. He gave me special guidance on the economic and social aspects of energy projects, a field which was completely new for me.

The absorber was tested for two different mass flow rates. This is an attempt to assess the potential of this collector as a component of solar cooker with heat storage, a prototype that has a potential to enable indirect and off-sun cooking. The prototype of a solar cooker under investigation is intended to be used in rural areas (in Mozambique) to satisfy the multiple domestic needs in thermal energy as part of a global effort to mitigate the consequences of one of the severe problems the world face today (desertification and deforestation), some of which are attributed to climate change. Thermal efficiency of the collector was estimated for the two mass flow rates. Preliminary results show that at the target temperature range the collector efficiency remained above 70 % and that the higher the mass flow rate, the lower the temperature of the air leaving the

became one of the top priorities in many countries to mitigate the electricity shortage. Thus, for better deployment of solar thermal systems in the residential sector it is important to understand the household electricity consumption and energy usage for domestic hot water, though developing countries lack this type of accurate data. This work assesses a domestic hot water technology transition to solar thermal systems in the urban areas of developing countries, taking as case study Maputo city, in Mozambique. First, a survey was made to the domestic hot water needs, demand and usage, in 700 households, 28 neighbourhoods of Maputo, having identified the sources and technologies used to heat water and quantified the domestic hot water needs. Then, the impact on energy demand, cost and CO 2 emissions of domestic hot water technology change to solar thermal systems was modelled as well as the impact on electricity grid. The survey results point that the predominant energy sources used for domestic hot water in urban areas are electricity and biomass with nearly 46% and 41% shares, respectively. Further, results show that the domestic hot water technology used depends on household income, being the electric water heaters mostly used in households with relatively high-income. The technology transition to solar thermal systems results in a positive impact on the grid by reducing up to 65.7% the domestic hot water electricity demand and 78.7% of the CO 2 emissions, while the economic savings are up to 244 USD/household/year. However, peak load is expected to increase by 11%, suggesting the need for load management policy implementation.","publication_date":{"day":1,"month":7,"year":2020,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":109907297},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/112782859/Domestic_hot_water_technology_transition_for_solar_thermal_systems_An_assessment_for_the_urban_areas_of_Maputo_city_Mozambique","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-01-02T03:43:38.076-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":127830642,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":109907297,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109907297/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.jclepro.2020.12104320240102-1-e11ezm.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109907297/download_file?st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Domestic_hot_water_technology_transition.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109907297/j.jclepro.2020.12104320240102-1-e11ezm-libre.pdf?1704197180=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDomestic_hot_water_technology_transition.pdf\u0026Expires=1732778232\u0026Signature=AMqc5i~zJzSYCDJliA8wy9kieCT0uHZCuxkUxUVIcA8In~VX7OWKr0fvjpl5Q0Xnvt3YwBYOnZbgQXJHKz3BTJhKIyoS-KGPpqai2ZynlBXYyjVZMII~5yr0hQXJAYGeKKe1r3co1sSJ~cGAzsT1t03TvirVpChQbvUHT5LMCalgBSqZlFygIxFLbQDBzK4JwkjsyeqnOZdd28U2YtsQlGjvnqSj-8Re15Wx2~MELyFYH5L5G7~6CQFJjahIiANum3QhDB0p3kxswoT~KJXPniQaRA6dOxcQuJyDQV4iq03WJz~3QpT-Uv7R0THYGTe6wqyrjrGJdNvUDH1EsapPNw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Domestic_hot_water_technology_transition_for_solar_thermal_systems_An_assessment_for_the_urban_areas_of_Maputo_city_Mozambique","translated_slug":"","page_count":16,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":127830642,"first_name":"Boaventura","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Cuamba","page_name":"BoaventuraCuamba","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2019-09-23T23:10:46.199-07:00","display_name":"Boaventura Cuamba","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/BoaventuraCuamba"},"attachments":[{"id":109907297,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109907297/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.jclepro.2020.12104320240102-1-e11ezm.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109907297/download_file?st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Domestic_hot_water_technology_transition.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109907297/j.jclepro.2020.12104320240102-1-e11ezm-libre.pdf?1704197180=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDomestic_hot_water_technology_transition.pdf\u0026Expires=1732778232\u0026Signature=AMqc5i~zJzSYCDJliA8wy9kieCT0uHZCuxkUxUVIcA8In~VX7OWKr0fvjpl5Q0Xnvt3YwBYOnZbgQXJHKz3BTJhKIyoS-KGPpqai2ZynlBXYyjVZMII~5yr0hQXJAYGeKKe1r3co1sSJ~cGAzsT1t03TvirVpChQbvUHT5LMCalgBSqZlFygIxFLbQDBzK4JwkjsyeqnOZdd28U2YtsQlGjvnqSj-8Re15Wx2~MELyFYH5L5G7~6CQFJjahIiANum3QhDB0p3kxswoT~KJXPniQaRA6dOxcQuJyDQV4iq03WJz~3QpT-Uv7R0THYGTe6wqyrjrGJdNvUDH1EsapPNw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":55,"name":"Environmental Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Engineering"},{"id":402,"name":"Environmental Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Science"},{"id":1584,"name":"Cleaner Production","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cleaner_Production"},{"id":96825,"name":"Manufacturing Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Manufacturing_Engineering"},{"id":554780,"name":"Interdisciplinary Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Interdisciplinary_Engineering"}],"urls":[{"id":38081542,"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.121043"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Solar Thermal Systems (STS) have been widely used to increase energy efficiency in residential sector in many countries, and several models are being developed to improve their performance and deployment. However many of existing software tools somehow fail to provide more sensitivity analysis to different parameters of STS performance, given their wide applicability. In this paper, two dynamic approaches to model STS are discussed: a developed hourly model based on energy balance of the STS components, and the simulation tool Polysun. A sensitivity analysis is made to different domestic hot water demand profiles and tank sizes, using as case study, a typical 5-person family house in Maputo, Mozambique. The results show that the developed hourly model can be used to evaluate and size solar thermal systems, having similar results to Polysun. However, regarding the auxiliary heating, Polysun approach leads to a higher or lower electrical auxiliary heating, depending on the control layer, resulting in over-sizing or under-sizing of the system, given that it considers the temperatures stratification while the developed model considers the energy balance in the tank as a whole.","publication_date":{"day":1,"month":12,"year":2018,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":109907298},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/112782858/Comparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to_modelling_solar_thermal_systems_for_domestic_hot_water","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-01-02T03:43:37.651-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":127830642,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":109907298,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109907298/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.seta.2018.10.01220240102-1-wkqfw3.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109907298/download_file?st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Comparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109907298/j.seta.2018.10.01220240102-1-wkqfw3-libre.pdf?1704197197=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DComparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to.pdf\u0026Expires=1732778232\u0026Signature=bw-irlKvGmwfgnupSk7xtAGjeEbcXP0EwF2Sbc00vGP8yWUgRTmN9-hHatZxSMQM5hIzTa~-uhN~bu0u7425XFrT87JqK~H4z~zd54fgLT3GBL-jwBPpsuWsIDHqA3Mhj0LsZhFh6BU9DlipA83kjtbEwIj-86aweasrlMXf7kNYolcYiM9Fo8DXAyUqN3sYqSTKLCjxGbWia7mPR6PB9WfRvLHNS4MY3v2yJck~GUoIcgpSd6K1N4CuS63Pfhr0~GFwRjVQ0rNgaFUexsr3Xl-23VE8T4WMQAi2RdQ96QU4dwPLbNDKxyBYA0hpFtcVNPuZvPt-8Ujo0MGD4UpqgQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Comparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to_modelling_solar_thermal_systems_for_domestic_hot_water","translated_slug":"","page_count":12,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":127830642,"first_name":"Boaventura","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Cuamba","page_name":"BoaventuraCuamba","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2019-09-23T23:10:46.199-07:00","display_name":"Boaventura Cuamba","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/BoaventuraCuamba"},"attachments":[{"id":109907298,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/109907298/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.seta.2018.10.01220240102-1-wkqfw3.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/109907298/download_file?st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjc3NDYzMiw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Comparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/109907298/j.seta.2018.10.01220240102-1-wkqfw3-libre.pdf?1704197197=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DComparison_of_two_dynamic_approaches_to.pdf\u0026Expires=1732778232\u0026Signature=bw-irlKvGmwfgnupSk7xtAGjeEbcXP0EwF2Sbc00vGP8yWUgRTmN9-hHatZxSMQM5hIzTa~-uhN~bu0u7425XFrT87JqK~H4z~zd54fgLT3GBL-jwBPpsuWsIDHqA3Mhj0LsZhFh6BU9DlipA83kjtbEwIj-86aweasrlMXf7kNYolcYiM9Fo8DXAyUqN3sYqSTKLCjxGbWia7mPR6PB9WfRvLHNS4MY3v2yJck~GUoIcgpSd6K1N4CuS63Pfhr0~GFwRjVQ0rNgaFUexsr3Xl-23VE8T4WMQAi2RdQ96QU4dwPLbNDKxyBYA0hpFtcVNPuZvPt-8Ujo0MGD4UpqgQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":402,"name":"Environmental Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Science"},{"id":133295,"name":"Energy Balance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Energy_Balance"},{"id":174347,"name":"Thermal","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Thermal"},{"id":582376,"name":"Sizing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sizing"},{"id":1268642,"name":"Software Deployment","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Software_Deployment"}],"urls":[{"id":38081541,"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2018.10.012"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

The pumping plant has been installed in 1993 and a monitoring system integrated into it in 1994. The monitoring activities have been carried out during a period of six months, from 1st January to 30th June 1995, and had as a major objective to characterise the performance of the plant under the local environmental conditions. This characterisation comprised a detailed analysis of the performance of the plant&#39;s major components, namely the PV array, the inverter and the motor/pump unit.
