Fault Detection for Solar Thermal Systems - Overall System Evaluation or Component-Oriented Approach
Abstract
The paper at hand describes an FSC-based method to automatically assess the performance of a solar combi system. The impact of both inexpensive and improved sensor equipment on the detection accuracy is investigated, capabilities and limitations of this approach are discussed. Advantages and disadvantages of this overall system evaluation are compared to those of the standard fault detection system by means of a component-oriented approach.
