ENERGY EFFICIENCY CART MODELING OF SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTORS BY GENETIC PROGRAMMING

ABSTRACT
Uniquely constructed technical solution of solar energy collector is presented in this paper. It presents a great breakthrough in the field of energy efficiency and successful exploitation of renewable energy sources. Principle of this high-temperature energy storage enables the energy accumulated from the sun to be yielded when necessary and continuously, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Furthermore this paper is containing a modeling of sun irradiance, generated energy intensity for flat solar panel and for Prof. Petrovic concentrator. Modeling is made with genetic programming and it is found out that genetic programming is suitable method for modeling of energy intensity. It offers results which are within acceptable tolerances while maintaining ease of use and short computational time. Genetic programming yielded results of 12,97%, 14,6% and 9,25% average percent error for irradiance, flat solar panel and Prof. Petrovic solar concentrator respectively.
