Simulation and Realization of a Controlled Solar Water Heating System
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: This paper describes a design and a realization of an example of solar energy exploitation systems; it is a simulation and a realization of solar water heating system with a control board based on the microcontroller PIC 16F877. The project is foremost simulated by ISIS-Proteus software and then realized in real time. The practical results of this application were carried out using a digital LCD which displays the hot water temperature. This temperature varies between the minimal value 20oC and its maximal value 70oC. The results prove the competitiveness of the solar hot water system with its controlling board. The economized coast of the realized project can help and encourages the use and may be the commercialization of this system.
