Modern research of using alternative energy resources in Azerbaijan

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of modern trends and prospects for the use of solar batteries in various sectors of the economy and the agricultural sector. The purpose of this article is to analyze the possibility of energy saving for a private residential building in Gobustan using solar energy storage in a greenhouse extension and a heat pump to transfer heat to the heating system. The calculation showed that in the coldest month, December, the potential of solar thermal energy is 15-38% of the required heat demand, depending on the material used in the extension design. In March and April, excess heat is generated, which can be used for hot water supply needs. Thus, for an individual residential building, the use of solar heat accumulated in a greenhouse extension is relevant as an additional source of heat for the heating system. Surface density of solar radiation flux, W/m²: surface density of direct solar radiation flux: 1,680 (November), 1,530 (December), 1,870 (January), 2,730 (February), 3,270 (March), 3,180 (April); Surface density of diffuse solar radiation flux: 650 (November), 450 (December), 480 (January), 680 (February), 1180 (March), 1,830 (April).
