MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN A HOUSE WITH SOFC-CGS, SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM AND STORAGE BATTERY SYSTEM, AND INSTALLATION EFFECT OF THEM

Abstract

The objective of this study is to clarify effective operation methods and the energy conservation effect in a house. An experimental house, installed SOFC-CGS, solar photovoltaic system and storage battery system, was constructed. In this paper, first, we measured energy consumption and analyzed performances of the equipment. We built the model-based simulation program to calculate the energy consumption of multiplication cases. As results of the simulations, we found that installation of home battery leads to suppression of purchased electricity. And when SOFC-CGS is installed, primary energy consumptions are reduced by over 10%, however installation effect depends on life-style of family.
