摘要
In order to optimize the energy requirements (heating/cooling) of a multi-zone greenhouse, and investigate its heat recovery potential, a mathematical, dynamic energy model, coded in the MATLAB/Simulink platform, is developed. For validation, a case study in cold climate conditions is evaluated. This dynamic model, based on both energy and water vapor mass balances, was able to calculate the year-round monthly energy demand for the case study. The model calculations were compared with actual energy consumption data and were shown to have an accuracy between 6% and 15.5% for different months. The results highlighted the potential of applying a heat recovery strategy, whether with a Phase Change Material (PCM) or a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV). It is shown that using a HRV can reduce the energy demand of the greenhouse by 5% for January and 4% for December. Regarding the greenhouse radiation performance, the south roof contributes the most to solar heat gain in winter and summer, while the north wall makes the minimum contribution. Consequently, it is proposed to increase the area of the south roof and insulate the north wall. Thus, an asymmetrical roof configuration can receive 6% more solar radiation. Calculations show that an east-west greenhouse orientation lowers energy demand by 3%.
